I love Conor’s short to the point content

[@qumatru]

I like the Radichetta(cerbiata) variety for loose leaf(oak leaf type, looks a lot like dandelion) and the Maravilla de verano for batavia type.

i grow about 8 varieties of lettuce for my salads but if I had to pick just 3 as my favorites it would be iceberg romaine and black seeded Simpson. but i also grow and enjoy butter lettuce, red sails, and little gem. i also love wild greens like claytonia and i love love love mache ( corn salad)

[@lorip4051]

They look so pretty all tidy in a row

[@joeyharris67]

Conor is the man!

I love Muir. I sell it at the farmers market as "sandwich lettuce" and it flies off the table. But Salanova is the king, I can't grow enough to satisfy the demand.

[@Mozafamily]

Sarragossa is my favorite variety in the garden but I've been growing Vulcan in my house overwinter and it holds well without bolting and is great in salads! We love the red leaf varieties here. Thanks for the video!

[@KansasGardenGuy]

Tropicana , Salanova, and Cherokee here in Kansas due to the hot summers.

Thanks for sharing! My new favorite is Landis Winter lettuce. I received it as a freebie along with my order from Baker Creek, and decided to give it a try this season. So far it's growth is outperforming the others. I'm currently growing indoors on the windowsills, and out windows are quite chilly, so I'm confident that this new variety would do well outdoors as well.

We’ve been very surprised how well oak leaf has done at our markets.

[@lucybrenton149]

Good morning! ☀️

[@GeertDeweerdt]

Maravilla di Verona in spring and summer - a Batavia. Very tasty and crunchy (Belgium)

[@dare2bdifferent1]

I've never seen such beautiful lettuce! Is the first one called Salanova? 🥗

[@TheYehat]

Any thoughts on "Little Gem"?

[@timmeasures2694]

What variety of romaine and iceberg do you grow Coner

[@jamesstandley4584]

Romaine heads on the grill, hard to beat!

[@mysuburbanadventures9241]

Conor what variety of iceberg lettuce do you grow. I’m part of your farm course if it’s there just let me know also thanks.

[@joeyharris67]

Conor is salanova still working out for you or have you changed the main variety

[@NeversinkFarm]

Still working.

[@bshuema]

What are the varieties that you planted please and thanks

[@LuckyFoodFarm]

The temperature is so high in summer, can you still grow lettuce ?

[@NeversinkFarm]

Absolutely. It takes various techniques to keep it cooler and using more heat tolerant varieties but yes, of course.

[@LuckyFoodFarm]

@@NeversinkFarm Based on the experience we had done before, the first problem we met was lettuce did not sprout in summer. On the other hand , growing lettuce in summer is easy to bloom, I am wondering if it is possible growing lettuce in shady area in summer?

[@susanspeed1638]

I have tried salanova (sp?) But have found it on the bitter side. What am i doing wrong?

[@NeversinkFarm]

Irrigate well. Fantastic well balanced soil. Harvest during the coldest part of the day.

[@danphillips4590]

Baby lettuce has no flavor
