• Growing lettuce and onions at home can save money and provide fresher, tastier food.
• The necessary supplies to get started are inexpensive and easily accessible: containers, soil, vegetable seeds, sun, and water.
• Depending on the latitude of your garden, there are three recommended onion varieties: Savannah Sweet for southern gardeners, Candy for mid-latitude gardeners, Walla Walla for northern gardeners.
