Hey Siloe, if you are looking for more heat tolerant lettuces types I would recommend Yedikule from Baker Creek Seeds. First year growing them this year alongside half a dozen other types. The Yedikule is the only one that I haven't had to move the pots into shade so far.
I totally agree, plant what you need otherwise share it with family, friends and neighbors. I'll have to wait till fall it gets well above 100+ here in south Texas. Great awesome video!
Hello Siloé, It is less expensive to grow organic edibles than purchasing them. The fact that they are expensive to purchase is just one aspect the other is less wasteful. Growing it allows for just harvesting what you need and returning to your garden when you need more. When you purchase a bunch, if you don’t consume it all quickly you end up with a liquid, slimy mess. 😔 My first year growing lettuce and arugula, they’re in my hugelkultur, that after digging it and putting it together, it receives more shade than I thought it would so lettuces and arugula are fine there in our tremendously hot spring and summer. Thank you for another beautiful video!😉
Great video, interesting info on the history of lettuce. The aphrodisiac properties are interesting, never knew that. Have you ever tried eating the white sap that comes out of the stems after the lettuce is flowering? It's so bitter. I've heard it has some medical properties, but I've never been brave enough to eat more than a tiny amount. Best of luck with your summer lettuce. I've had some luck growing heat tolerant varieties of lettuce in summer if I put them in deep shade on a north facing area under an oak tree. There is an older variety from South Carolina called "Paris Island COS" that is probably the most heat tolerant variety I know of. Love your nice videos, happy gardening and cheers
That sure is a beautiful house! Have you ever tried growing Malabar spinach for greens in the hot weather? I'm trying this year, although my seedlings got off to a slow start (because of cheap potting soil, I think.)

The only way I got lettuce to grow in the window is right on the sill of a south-facing window, with curtains backed with white fabric behind them. They loved it there, as did the spinach, but they outgrew the window sill. It’s a great way to get them going before the spring thaw, though and I did not have to buy a grow light.
I wish I could grow lettuce here in summer - the heat index here in Central Florida will be over 103 degrees today. Sure I could grow it inside but I don’t have grow lights and it would be spindly. Thanks for sharing!
Planted end of March. Some on ground, others in hanging baskets and pots. All are thriving. My pots and baskets are growing slower, some will be used, if needed in raised beds. I'm doing slug detail at night. So far, our salad collection has been divers and abundant. This has been my first experience growing lettuce: Asian blend, butter, romaine and Russian Kale.
Radishes are easy? I had to chuckle..I cannot get my radishes to grow well; esp. in 28 days! Maybe after 2 months, year after year, I'll have a couple nice ones but not the bonanza I expect. Plenty of water, but even though I have no problem with potatoes, garlic, artichokes, etc. those darn little radishes keep me stumped. 'Course nothing beats fresh, crunchy lettuce..yummy yum! :))
This is such an underrated channel. Your videos are informative and soothing to watch.
Thanks. I’m happy to hear that

What a beautiful antic stuff you have at home I watch your videos and learn alot but meanwhile I enjoy your mysterious house design !

I'm glad you liked the video. I hope you have a great lettuce harvest come winter.

That is true. Good luck with the hugel bed

I'm glad you enjoy watching the details
Goodness.. I wished I had you temps. South East Texas.. Only in the winter.
you can certainly grow hot peppers :-)
You bet! Plenty of it! :-)

i suppose winter is the most appropriate time

Great to hear it has been working out for you,
Sir, I really like your Style! :)
Thanks
And that's where I've been going wrong sewing them instead of on the top, thanks bud! ☺️
Is that a costa rican carreta? Nice
I think it is.

Concure. My radish came up, but they just didn't seem happy. Little things....yellowing leaves.
Try growing them in fall. The tricky part is getting the timing right before the frost comes.
@@suburbanhomestead Thanks Pa! :))
Where is this dude located? Cool house.

Your camera is incredible what's the name
