As a small market grower, an absolute must is harvesting before first light. The bitter sap in the leaves sink down into the roots at night then rises with the sun. Big difference in taste. Sweet vs bitter.
thanks for that tip, so I should cut them before the sun rise?
@@lucyudy as an experiment, try cutting mid-day and taste the milky sap at the cut. When you cut it pre dawn, there is virtually none.
thank you I will experiment with it. Now I have to find out why some of my cucumbers taste bitter.@@babaluto
Great tip!
Wow great advice ill try that😊
Winter is the best time for growing lettuce is winter here in Tucson Arizona. If you plant lettuce seeds in late Aug or early Sept. you will have greens up until March, or whenever we start getting hot again.
You are one of my favorite gardeners! Thanks for information on how to protect lettuce from afids . Can you share how to protectbfrom beetles & cut worms? Thank you so.😊
Black Seeded Simpson is what I’ve been growing for years with great success. As you said it’s a great crop to grow if you’re a beginner!
I get so many free lettuce seeds, that I don't know what to do with all of them, so I put them all in a jar, and shake it to mix the seeds, bronze leaf, Merlot, Cimarron, butter crunch, May Queen, Romain, Black Seeded Simpson, and more. In the fall, I sprinkle seeds into the garden beds, and water them in. In the winter, I do seed starts and transplant. I harvest whatever comes up. It is always a surprise. Last winter, it was mainly Romain and Black Seeded Simpson, this fall a mix of everything except for Romain. I've eaten a little more than half of the lettuce, and will finish harvesting before winter sets in, Alabama zone 7B.
Black Seeded Simpson grows year round in almost any zone. We've grown in CA & now West TN. Butercrunch fav of kids. Parris Island Cos also a trusty fav for young leaves
Great Video!
Forellenschluss is my favorite variety of lettuce.
It’s very attractive with the speckles!
I prefer leaf lettuces. I used to grow marvel of 4 seasons, buttercrunch and black seeded simpson. Recently, I've had trouble getting buttercrunch to germinate and my simpson lettuce seems to go straight to bolt (spring or fall). My new favorite from this year is red fire. Tender, delicious, slow to bolt and not bitter when it does, cold hardy (especially with a little protection).
hi 🤗
great video.
i have so many favorite lettuces, but the colorful varieties of head and leaf lettuces make beautiful salads. tfs
Salad Bowl lettuce has done well for me, but I'm still trying others.
The perfect example instead of thinning and wasting a plant - is succesive harvesting. Cut off a leaf (yesssss, its time consuming - but so is microgreens - which this is my method !!!). You have saved all of the plants, that will continue to make further leaves for the future salads. The bigger the young plant leaves, the more salad greens (for humans and Daisy !) to chow on. You don't waste plants, always have more than emough greens, and a perfectly growing garden - with 100% use and no abuse.
Winter is the best time to grow lettuce ( and kale, spinach, cilantro and a lot of other cool weather crops. Where we live it’s necessary to protect it in a cold frame or low tunnel. I live in zone 7a so it does get cold. I use ceiling fan light covers- the ones that is shaped like a trumpet bell, to cover seedlings in the fall, winter and early spring.
I love arugula lettuce, so if you have any tips on growing it, would appreciate hearing them. Thanks, Brian.
Australia, I grow oakleaf as our temps can reach over 40C [102F]
I love watching your RUclips channels ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
You are so welcome!
I’m growing about 6 plants of Romaine lettuce this season in the north Texas area Zone 8b. Hoping to get a good amount of lettuce to eat.
I like bibb letuce a lot and its the one I grow successfully. I also like green and red leaf lettuce and romaine to name a few.
Bibb lettuce is my favorite garden lettuce, too. It germinates very easy and is heat resistant. If you start you seeds indoor under grow lamps, Bibb lettuce makes strong root system early. Seedlings are easily transplanted in the garden. I live in zone 5B.
Thank you for the great video. I'm in 8b so I'm growing my lettuce in my walk in greenhouse but I'm having a lot of trouble with white flies. Any advice for preventing them or getting rid of the pesty boogers. Thanks in advance
I really enjoyed the video but I am also interested in where you got that step stool it is gorgeous. Do you remember please?
I’ll eat any homegrown lettuce, but ‘FORELLENSCHLUSS’ from Baker Creek, a basic cos-type, and the butter/Bibb styles are my favorite.
Jericho, Little Gem, and Parris Cos.
🥰What kind of lettuce do I need to grow to get a nice crispy lettuce ?
I would look at growing heading lettuces instead of leafing lettuces. The crispiest leafing lettuce would be Romain followed by Black Seeded Simpson.
Great video, as always. Every time I attempt to grow leafy lettuce it grows but a bit limpy. The soil feels moist enough. Any suggestions?
Any tips on slug and snail control?
My parents used to put down small jar tops filled with beer. I think they caused an alcoholic possum who liked visiting. Haha.
Sluggo. It doesn’t harm people or animals.
Marvel of Four Seasonsis my favorite
Boomer has finally found his niche!! 🤣 And Noah as well! They did great 🤗 I like buttercrunch lettuce for growing. I'm wondering if I could grow it inside under lights during the winter?
Yes definitely indoors
I like red leaf lettice black seeded Simpson most leaf lettuces and romaine
My favorite variety is that washed by someone else!
I want to grow Romain next year .
I'm in 6a.
what kind of organic spray would you spray in lettuce?
I would spray it with diluted Spinosad, or BT.
In Australia love good old iceberg and cos lettuce. We can get quite warm in the summer 40 degrees Celsius
Butterhead lettuce (thick, juicy), arugula (spicy), mizuna (frilly spicy), frizze (frilly), mache, bibb lettuce (thick, juicy) ,,, and some raddichio (half lettuce, half cabbage chewiness)
Green leaf lettuce
Where do you order your seeds from? I love both of your channels
Thanks! Whoever I google that has them lol. Alot from rare seeds.com and johnnys
hi there i only know the head lettece ive never eaten other types of lettece
I can’t find that one video you did on easy row covers, could you republish that one?
I am not sure where you are located. We are in Boise idaho and we covered our peppers and had much more luck. Unfortunately, we can't do much about the heat,as it seems closer to in the 90s for more of the season, but
He is in Southern California, I believe.
Look at growing lettuce in a cold frame, low tunnel or unheated greenhouse during the winter. Cold weather leafy greens do well! So does cilantro!
We like Red romaine lettuce n Kale
Love your videos & showing us continually how to grow food Thank you. Sweet Tomato Vine Homestead on RUclips not sure if you've seen her channel she grows so much food in rsised beds & containers. I'm learning each time you post a video. Thanks.
My tomato plant is only about 6 inches tall and it has grown several flower buds. What should I do?
If I’m growing carrots in a container do I drill holes in the bottom of it?
Will lettuce grow hydroponically in hot climates?
My favorite lettuce to grow is romaine
I love iceberg lettuce.
I like oakleaf but it's so hot they always bolt
Rule (1) - don;t overplant lettuce. If you want to eat as much as Dairy and greens given her - then plant lettuce. Otherwise, sparingly plant, and know your grow space and what actual mature plant size dimensions will be there - and plant seed according to those measurements. Otherwise, Daisy and the chickens, (aphids, slugs, snails) will have green all the grow season.
Salanova
should we just leave lettuce we in Africa since we only hv summer
I grow Jericho romaine lettuce during the summer and have had a lot of success. It is slow to bolt.
