How long does it take to grow lettuce or greens in the Portable Farm™?
If you plant your seeds in the peat pots when they arrive, you can enjoy your first lettuce in about 40 days. That is about as fast as you can produce edible food. The different lettuces, greens, basil and other vegetables will tell you on the seed packet how long they take to mature. The time listed on the packets will be shortened somewhat because the plants have optimal growing conditions inside the greenhouse which is warm at night and the plants always have a fresh supply of water and nutrients. And, if you want to, you can add additional grow lights (to add another 4 hours of sunlight) during winter months (like we do) to allow for optimal growth.
