Lettuce is planted in the garden, in pots or planters on the balcony, and lettuce can also be grown in a greenhouse. As a cool season plant, lettuce needs a cool environment and is grown at relatively low temperatures between 14-19°C. In general, it prefers sunny planting locations, although it also grows satisfactorily in semi-shaded locations. At high temperatures, premature growth of the flowering shoot of the lettuce is caused, while at very low temperatures and frost, burns are caused on the foliage. Some varieties of lettuce are more resistant to the relatively high temperatures of spring and others are better adapted to the frost of winter. For planting lettuce, the ideal soil is fertile, cool, with a high content of organic matter that ensures good drainage.

Marjoram is a perennial aromatic and medicinal plant, a cousin of oregano, that grows in semi-mountainous and mountainous parts of the Mediterranean countries. With a growth of about half a meter, marjoram is characterized by upright stems, small round ash-green leaves and small white-pink flowers that appear at the ends of the stems. Marjoram has no special soil requirements, as long as the soil has very good drainage. It prefers relatively sunny positions and is particularly resistant to cold. Marjoram is considered a xeric crop and can withstand high temperatures. Suitable time for planting marjoram is in spring and early autumn. We plant at distances of 30-40 cm between the plants, while if we plant it in a rock garden we choose a position near oregano and thyme. For marjoram plants in a pot, we make sure to place them in a place with western or northern exposure and we get general-purpose potting soil or more special for aromatic plants.
