Florida green lettuce has two varieties: 'Boy' and 'Queen'. 'Boy' is good for little areas or pots. It has bright green leaves that are a bit bitter. 'Queen' is bigger, with wide leaves that are mild. When picking seeds, get plump, good ones. Get seedlings with healthy, green leaves and strong stems. Make sure the roots are good and not bound. It is key to pick kinds based on your space and taste. Lettuce needs sun. Plant it in spring or fall. Water it regularly. Watch for pests like slugs. Harvest leaves when big enough.
