You must lift, I see the calluses lol. My lettuce overwintered as well here in SC, USA. They’re all leaf lettuces and happy they’re finally growing again! Great video as always.
I do recreationaly 💪🙂 That's great! I've overwintered some leafy varieties too and the frequency of harvests is increasing rapidly now. Thank you very much!
They're very strong to withstand cold weather. Nice sharing. I don't know how people in 4 seasons country grow their plants there. I live in hot & wet weather for 365 days country. So here, i don't have problem with sunlight & temperature when gardening 😊
Hello, yes these can handle very low temperatures. As long as they are under row covers or snow blanket. That's great! If You wanted to make me jealous, goal accomplished 😀 Growing here is all about timing, though it's kind of sad when there is not much growing outside during the winter. Thank You very much! ☺
These took so slow because I grew them through winter. They've survived -12°C (10°F) for few nights, and they didn't grow much during the winter, not only the temperatures are cold here, but also the length of days is very short. But if they make it through the winter, they are ready to harvest in early spring. If I started these in february-march, I would be harvesting them in late may. Head lettuce takes some time 🙂
I do that when I have time. The younger the seedlings the easier and faster they adapt and continue growing. And also their roots are not tangled and you can pick their whole root system without breaking any part of it. I find pricking best done when the seedling has only cotelydons and the first true leaf is noticable emerging. Was pricking peppers today, they already have their first true leaves and I could tell their root system was not enjoying this experience. After transplanting they wilted for few hours. That never happens when you transplant very young seedlings with cotelydons only. But yes, you are right, it is a very delicate job 🙂

I didn't realize that lettuce grew that slow 😮
Yes. This makes it even more painful when rabbits just mow down a whole row 😑

@@Dasedandconfused314 Yeah, rabbits love lettuce too 🐰🐇
What type of wood shavings do you use and where do you get it?
Hello, I use spruce shavings and I get them from local carpenter.
Transplant seems a very delicate job. Perhaps waiting a week or so would make it easier.
