Use chives!
Chives are one of my favorite ways to protect greens and other goodies in the garden.
Their smell helps distract caterpillars and other pests who otherwise would feast on your lettuce.
Clearly LaTasha doesn’t have that problem. 😉
To see how you can plant your garden like her, go to my website for my Planting Plans, packed full of information about what to plant together and what to keep apart.
Oh and by the way, did you realize we are halfway through the year!? We made it! To celebrate I’ll be reposting some of my favorite posts from this year as the Gardenary Team takes a week of rest.
Happy planting!

Any recommendations for lettuce in hot,dry climates? All mine bolted in the heat 😢but I want to try some next year
Yes! A few quick suggestions (sorry if some are obvious), not sure where and what climate you have though give these a try
1) keep trying now, this year! Succession planting (like some new seeds every few weeks?) from the second half of the summer well into the fall can yield good results, especially as nights get cooler. And there's plenty of season left for fast-growing cool weather loving lettuces and greens and lots of other stuff.
2) try container planting & move them out of your main garden (which sounds like it's super sunny) to an area with limited sun, like maybe a partly shaded side of your house or yard? And lettuce is really easy to manage in containers.
3) try some heat tolerant varieties if you haven't already
That's about it for some quick ideas. The main thing is continue now, this season, cuz there's plenty of time, and you just need to find a partly shaded area or limited sun. Maybe other people have some additional ideas.
I live in Eastern NY State and today I'm planting kale & lettuce & green beans (from seed). Also planting more broccoli & cabbage seedlings from the nursery today cuz all the seedlings are half price now.
Huge extra: Remember to grab & use the broccoli leaves as you are close to harvesting the broccoli heads, and continue to use the leaves as the broccoli continues to produce little shoots (after you've used the main broc head).
> I know you didn't ask about broccoli though I thought it was on-topic for mid-to-late seasons veggies, they are delicious, similar to collards, very healthy and perfectly wonderfully edible, creamed, steamed & buttered, in recipes, and even raw.
Companion planting/guilds for the win!
Do you separate your chives from the store?
That's not chives but yeah, solid tip
There are many many different varieties of chives. Those are definitely chives.
Beautiful garden, Eve 😇🥰
