> So do I. I bought a packet of red leaf lettuce seeds circa 2007 and have been growing them ever since. This year I experimented with constructing a tarp to protect the lettuce from sun during the summer to reduce bolting, and also growing seedlings in a tray and planting them repeatedly to extend my lettuce season. Both seem to be good.

Thank you Kevin for making informative videos delivered in a simple way. Im from Britain and my children wanted to know how things grow. So for 2 years ive watched your videos and then I teach them. You have inspired a whole generation of my family to get growing for which I am eternally grateful. My kids now spend their summer growing produce rather than playing video games. You will never know my kids, or their friends who see their enthusiasm for growing and then start asking their parents if they can grow food too, but please be humbled knowing the difference you are making to people's lives and the snowball effect it has. Be proud of what you have accomplished my friend, not only in business success but also bringing good to the world.

Easiest way I've sewn lettuce is the way Charles Dowding does it. Doesn't try to pick apart those tiny seeds, just uses an open tray then after they all come up, just separates them from the clump and puts them in the starter trays individually. I'm really not good at thinning and this is working well this year.

Love making plant guilds. Waiting for slower growing veg to grow and mature leaves me a lot of space to seed or plant in fast greens and small roots such as radish and green onions. At this point in my 58 years of gardening I utilize every inch of space by putting seeds in everywhere and anywhere it makes sense, naturally paying attention to variety, eventual space needs, time required. Maximizing my best garden soils means less work developing other areas. Also I never turn the soil. I use a potato fork and just give the soil a slight lift or boost to loosen it. No more heavy work for me unless absolutely necessary (don't like to disturb the soil microbiology).

Not sure if this will be seen by anyone that matters, much less Kevin, but my friend over at 90 Second Mycology (mushrooms), is having his channel demonetized because YT says his content violates their guidelines, is "harmful and promotes drug use." The man teaches a technique that is great for people just getting into the hobby, whether it be for medicinal or gourmet mushrooms. As we all know, when starting a new hobby, getting wins under our belt further drive our intrigue and passion for that activity. Growing mushrooms can be a tricky project as it is often costly to get started, but with this gentleman's technique one is able to get started for a fraction of the price with great success. We are here to learn to be more self sufficient and mushrooms can be used for a variety of things, least of all, food. Please do what you can to help appeal this decision! Again: 90 Second Mycology.

Funny story about not labeling seedlings. I started a try of seeds, forgot to label, but figured I'd remember what I had planted. Swear up and down they were turnips...they were not turnips. After transplanting in the back garden, I waited patiently for my turnips, which did not appear. I did a little research about turnips and transplanting, it's not recommended. However, I allowed the plants to thrive and grow because hey good for the soil. While chatting with our neighbor who lives in the back house, I look down and see these little purple globes...yes, they were eggplants, not turnips 🤣

You're reading my mind! I usually direct seed loose leaf lettuce, but this year doing heading lettuce and starting indoors. Our summer last year came earlier, almost a 100F in mid May! Lots of bolting!!

Thi summer I constructed a tarp over my lettuce to reduce sun exposure. Also planted lettuce seedling several times to extend the lettuce season. So some may bolt, but others are still growing. Next year I'm thinking of planting lettuce in a mostly shaded spot and see how that works. The lettuce would get some sun in just the morning or just the afternoon and be cooler pretty much all the time. A few plants in containers that can be moved to shade might also be a good experiment.

I was going to skip lettuce in my new garden because I found it intimidating but you've inspired me. Wish me luck!

After harvesting lettuce leaves if I wash them I help dry them by running them through a salad spinner. Although the leaves are still a little damp after being run through the spinner it greatly reduces the amount of moisture you have to deal with. I then place them in a large bowl and in a few hours they are mostly dry.

After pulling leaves off my red leaf lettuce, I wash them in water to get rid of any dirt or insects. I shake the water off and put the leaves in a plastic bag, and then into the refrigerator until I'm ready to use them. Some water typically collects in the bottom of the plastic bag, but I'm happy with the lettuce this method provides.

Florida would be brutal to grow lettuce. It gets so hot here. We've had some days already in the 80's. So by Spring it's going to be hot. Like goes from Winter right to Summer! 🥵

I like to let a few leaf lettuce or romaine plants make a lot of seeds then later sprinkle them around beside and underneath other garden plants like tomatoes in the warmer weather to help shade them and get a late crop and even more seeds to experiment with. Lettuce does very well indoors in the little hydro gardens if you want it in Summer and Winter when the weather is too harsh outdoors. Plus you can get your gardening fix in the off season. These tabletop gardens are a great gift idea for an elderly person or to teach a child about plants and get them interested in growing their own food.
