    Lettuce is a luxury food with very little nutrition and high water requirements…

    Chances are good that the majority won’t retain access to it for very long really since it will make the most sense to grow something more efficient.

      Potatoes. You don’t need a lot of light and they grow from the sprouts of old potatoes. They do need some water though. Same with other root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes. But I’ve never managed to get a sweet potato to grow. Carrots and potatoes and tomatoes grow good in the fall and winter in az. Now I’m just trying to figure out what to grow to can for the summer months.
