I remember on my families farm in canada we spun the greens in a big towel in the garden

[@tannerfarmstead]

That’s awesome! There are so many ways to do it!

[@williamwallace5707]

The lettuce is always soggy after I put it in the ice water then into the spinner. Any tips?

[@Robbie_NLR]

Great tips about lettuce storage!

[@tannerfarmstead]

Thank you!!

[@patticaperton3365]

Very nice!! I would like to know, the way you harvested the lettuce, will it grow back for another harvest?

[@tannerfarmstead]

So with these romaine lettuces I harvested them completely at the base of the stem. Certain lettuces tho you can cut off the top section of the plant and it will grow back. They call those “cut and come again” varieties. Some lettuces you can just harvest the more mature leaves and let them keep growing new leaves. But don’t harvest all the leaves off a lettuce plant or it will stunt it. The plant still needs some leaves for photosynthesis

[@patticaperton3365]

@@tannerfarmstead thank you so much for replying and clarifying that for me!!

[@tannerfarmstead]

Absolutely! My pleasure

[@JennTheFrugalMom]

How do you prep lacinto/dinosaur kale?

[@tannerfarmstead]

Our process is a bit different now. We grow kale in the greenhouse so we don’t wash it because it’s super clean

[@bluedotquest]

I liked everything about the video but I wanted to let you know that the volume of the in between music is a bit startling, its very loud in comparison to the talking parts

[@tannerfarmstead]

Yea this was one of my early videos and my video editing wasn’t the best at the time. Sorry about that

[@Robbie_NLR]

….and all the while I’ve been thinking a little moisture/water was good for stored lettuce.

[@tannerfarmstead]

Well some moisture is good but I’ve found keeping things on the dryer side has kept greens the longest vs allowing moisture to build up

[@cheriesullivan1494]

Um you WASTED lettuce! CUT THE LEAVES OFF WITH SCISSORS it’ll GROW BACK for more harvest. Leave stem in ground, but don’t cut at the solid! It’ll grow back lol

[@tannerfarmstead]

lol very true. I find second cut to not be near as good tho
