    Love the tips. I learn each time I watch.
    I pull my lettuce head with root when ready to harvest whole head. This way I put it on the kitchen counter in a cereal bowl Of water. The lettuce keeps longer as I can’t eat the whole head at one meal. And it looks so fresh and pretty on the counter.

    You are an inspiration and God loves you. You where the first one to inspire me to make a food forest back when I was just wanting to live off the land. I lost all my friends my wife cheated on me And stole all my money and now I live alone in he Appalachia mountains in a small home with land nearby. I spent all I had on supplies for this food forest am foraging all my vgetabls and non bulk dehydrated foods until I can grow some. I currently live off the land and do all my cooking lighting and essentials with solar I depend on this land for survival this food forest and trashed land I just purchased that im cleaning up is my only hope and will be doing it this season with a potentialy broken wrist. I found an abundance of everything in nothing and am happier then I ever was when I had everything I thought I needed. God bless you James without this technique and your wisdom you shared I dont think I'd be ale to survive how I need to. God bless you James I hope you recieve everything you want in life one love to you :) if your ever in the Sussex County area let me know I have 3.7 acres in a state forest with a nice stream for tucky to cool of in

    Your dog reminds me of my dog in the garden 😄 My Teddy is still just a 5 month old maltipoo but he follows me through every task and sometimes he will try to help me weed & he loves digging the holes for me to drop seeds in, we've been planting this week & every day he goes out with me and sniffs every single plant to make sure they are still okay, I guess 🤷‍♀️ plus he's even learning to keep the chickens out of the garden. Gardening is so much more fun with a little buddy to help out! You have great content, thanks for sharing!

    On May 10th I didn't know what I was going to plant in my front porch planters, but figured I'd scatter some seeds and might actually get plants started by the time I get around to filling the planters. Well today on June 9th, I harvested some lettuce from those scattered seeds since I still haven't planted them up 😆🥬 There are also some basil seeds germinating in the back of the planters. They're so quick! I also started some from seed and I believe some germinated in only 1 or 2 days! It was incredible!

I tell you, you have a lettuce for evey day, you will not get tired of eating the same over and over. Good thing you start seeds elsewhere, that little Tuck likes to get in on the action. Always a great video. Thank you James and Tuck.❤❤❤❤❤🐶🐶🐶❤❤❤❤❤

    Hi James. I wanted to let you know that I built a hinged hoop house for a steel raised bed this fall. I planted in it a little late, by the time I had everything done, but my plants all survived the cold weather of last week. I live in SE PA, in Zone 6B, a half zone colder from you. I only put one layer of plastic on my bed, but then cover it with frost cloth (just right on top of the plastic, although it mostly just touches at the top). I let it drape to the ground where I weight it with bricks. When it got really cold, I put hoops inside the plastic hoop house I built, and put another layer of plastic inside. I uncovered today and almost all plants survived (all lettuces, kale, cabbage, cilantro, etc) other than those that were touched by the inner layer of plastic along the edges. (there was ice on top of that inner layer of plastic). I hope Tuck is well, and look forward to more of your videos.

    Jim, I had a horrible time germinating lettuce. Don’t know if starting mix was inadequate or seeds were too old or just planted wrong. Your seed start looks a heck of a lot heavier than mine, yet you had success. I wish there was a video that discussed best seed start mixes, lifespan of seeds, etc.

    Awesome tips! I went with buying transplants for my lettuce this year, being my first gardening year. I did a lot of sowing myself but not lettuce! Maybe next year. Great content for me to save!

    I’m setting up an irrigation system in hopes of growing tender plants. In the desert they crisp up quick.

    Can you show what you do with the lettuce after you harvest? Do you eat it all right away or do you store it and if so, how?

    Thank you ! You are so informative! Love to grow lettuce ! I use the winter sowing method for my lettuce ! I live in Ohio, northern and I put the lettuce seeds in gallon water containers with soil and by April/ May they are ready to be planted in the garden! Amazing 😊 next year I will plant my gallon buckets in intervals, so I have lettuce growing all the time ! I put them planted and watered in Feb 23 and by Spring they are ready to be planted 😍! Look up winter sowing on you tube and have fun growing your own lettuce 😍💕😇🙏🏼

    Great Video!. I have never had much luck with transplanting. So I just throw the seeds in and and they always seem to come up on their own 90% of the time.

    Thanks for the tips here in Australia 🇦🇺 we are late autumn (fall) and I’m growing more lettuce varieties but I’m temperate climate so a heat tolerant lettuce is great , thanks for the tip
