I really enjoy your format of these videos where you edit all of the progress of the plants you are showing how to grow, from seed starting to transplanting and to the finished harvest, all in one video! I truly appreciate it. I've learned so much from your teaching of growing vegetables from start to finish. God bless you both! 👼🙏❤️🐑🪔👑
Hi Hollis and Nancy 👋 What a lovely place you have now. Alot of space to grow things. Wish you good luck. We look at your videos on UA-cam 🥰 Helene in Sweden waiting for spring.
I just want to thank you so much for your videos, y’all are so inspiring to a new gardener such as myself and all of your videos have helped me, I primarily do container/planter gardening and your videos are what I run to if I question anything at all.. thank you thank you thank you…. Can’t wait for your next video!!!!
My son gave me a huge pack of Black Seeded Simpson for Christmas. I grew Parris Island lettuce this past spring. Today I'm starting the Black Seeded Simpson seeds in 6 cell trays. If I have half the luck you did I will be very happy. Thanks so much for your homestead channel. I enjoy every episode. Please keep it up. Thank You, Fred in Virginia
You two are so organized and efficient! Those are monster sized lettuce. I grow black seeded Simpson and they don’t get that big. I need to try that potting mix recipe. I really like how you show the entire cycle from seeding to eating. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
I love how you show the result from seed to ready. Takes a while to show that much progress in a video. I guess it's like you are growing the video in a sense.nice job
Love you end with acknowledgment and thanks to our LORD. Looks like it takes most of our life to learn how to really love, consumate a real marriage, and enjoy the real parts of God supplied Life in Him. God Bless y'all and viewers. Y'all will learn and gain here!
Oh man I wish I would have watched this video before I started mine that's the same seeds I have going on the homestead and I cut some of them off in there container good thing is I didn't do it with all of them so I.jist going to let them be so when I transplant them I will just do what you did. I will still be growing more all spring and summer. Thanks again for the video. You and Nancy and Bing Bing take good care. God bless
Thank you for continuing to grow and show us these good ways to grow our own food. I always enjoy watching and seeing new varieties that I haven't known existed. Also, I hope your back is much better than it was earlier in the year. God bless you guys!
So glad you enjoy our videos ❤️. My back is a lot better but still have to be careful with it. Thanks for your concern. My main pain is my knees especially my left knee. I’m afraid knee replacement is in my future 😕
@@HollisNancysHomestead Hollis I don't know if you already watch them but Lawrence from "This farm Wife" on YT just had a knee replacement about a week ago and has plans to have the other knee done. So you might wanna see how it goes with him - so far, he seems to be doing really good.
I love lettuce. I have some Black Seeded Simpson seeds. I hope to start some early next spring. Hoping for sweet, crispy lettuce! Love these progression videos that I know you work so hard to produce! Thank you so much for that! Good health and happiness to you!
I have been having a heck of a time getting my lettuce thru our heat warning summer. Last year, I grew a sturdy oak leaf and romaine strains last year, but we had normal heat. This year... everything other than potatoes in deep shade are frying. Thank you for posting this video. I like the advice about the depth of the starting tray sections! Great tips!
Happy 500,000 viewers , its a great channel , we're blessed to find you , ( and help me sell the girly on container growing for a lot of things ) cheers from the Outback
Going to try growing indoors this winter . Fresh greens are needed and knowing what you put into them is worth it. God only knows how bad things are going to get so got to try some new things. God's blessing to you and Nancy.
Question on your seed starting dirt. What do you do with them at the end of the season? Do you reuse the dirt for next year seeds? What do you do with the dirt?
Hey Hollis!!! Love your videos. I have a question about when and how much do you water while they're still in the trays. Do you water every day or only when they seem dry? I can't seem to get the right combination and my seeds seedlings seem to be very small. Thanks for all the great information, and by the way, I am a retired firefighter and we had great chaplain. Keep up the good work, you are needed.
Thanks for the advice I'm going to build some growing tables. The bugs had a field day with my garden. I'm out in zone 9 working on my growing projects. Thanks again God bless.
Wow... thank you about the tip of packing down the soil... I did not know that. And I make my own starter too and love black cow... I am getting ready to start some lettuce soon. here in central Florida too... love your videos so helpful... new subscriber.
Use dim fangers Hollis. This South Georgia boy loves straight talk LOL. I think I’m gonna try me lettuce this fall. Black seeded Simpson at that. God bless buddy
Very well done. I'm also in central Florida and I like they way you are growing this lettuce. I like to stagger my plantings so that it's not all ready to harvest at the same time. I only have so many friends and nearby family members to share it with.
I love y'all's video, I try to watch them all but I've had problems with lettuce I'll try this way see how it works , having it off the ground helps , I'm crippled up but it doesn't stop me , I'm blessed thanks
Nancy here - This is the most tender and tasty lettuce. We eat as much as we can and also give a lot to Mom. Whatever we have left over we give it to the chickens 🐔 They love it too
Either way will work. We usually cut and come again until it starts to get milky. Then we feed it to our chickens. By then the next succession planting is coming into harvest
Wow! We are still 98-108° here in California. How do store all the lettuce? Do you just eat all of it within a few weeks? Looks delicious. I need to try this black seeded Simpson.
Do you let all lettuce bunch without thinning or just this type? I have Henderson black seed lettuce that I love to grow as well. It looks similar to this type of lettuce.
@@HollisNancysHomestead thank you sir! I’d recommend the Henderson black seed lettuce from Bakers creek and Merlot lettuce, both very good. God bless you both!
Hi Virginia, Call Cathy Drake at Black Kow (352)748-0569. She can help you locate the nearest distributor in your area. Cathy is a very nice person and will happy to help you❤️
Thank you so much. I live in Tampa can you grow that lettuce here? Would I have to shade it. I live in Apt and with increase in rent I am trying to grown my food.
Out of curiosity, why do you cut the rest of your lettuce varieties down to one per cell/pot (if grown in a small pot), but not this one? I don't in zone 10b and have great results. I cut for leaf lettuce and dont grow for heads, so maybe that is the issue, but I get a ton of lettuce this way, probably 5 cuttings in the winter and 3 cuttings in the warmer seasons. August....one and done.
We eat it every day. It will last about a week in the refrigerator in a zip lock bag. We share some with friends and neighbors. If any starts to go bad we feed it to the chickens. We succession plant in 3 week intervals
What do you plan to do with all that lettuce? Just curious to know if you have a way to store it. That would be cool if you could grow it all at once and be able to enjoy on it for a while.
Each container is at least one meal for me and Nancy. We harvest daily for salads. We also harvest 7-10 containers at a time, rinse and store in zip lock bags with a paper towel and send home with Nancy’s mother. That will last her for at least a week. We also share some with neighbors and friends. We can get several harvests before it starts to get milky and go bad. At that point we feed it to our chickens. By the time it goes bad the next succession planting is coming into harvest. We plant in 3 week intervals giving us an endless supply of lettuce on our salad bar for several months. The only months we are not growing lettuce is June, July and August.
Well I definitely understand the pest pressure living in Florida, I’m in southwest Florida.. I like the idea of growing it up on tables although I don’t have that kind of room, but you have inspired me to try this variety, but on a smaller scale lol. Could probably grow that in the screened in patio. Can you use this as a cut and come again type of lettuce or do you harvest the whole thing at once?
We cut and come again in succession. By the time the lettuce gets old and milky the next succession planting is coming into harvest. We feed the milky lettuce to our chickens. We succession plant on 3 week intervals for continual lettuce on our salad bar.
Yall have a very interesting and informative channel. And a very neat garden, growing tables and structures. But I do have one question - how in the world do you keep the wasp out from under the tables and buildings? Maybe an odd question but I hate wasp and I know how bad they are to build their nest under such structures. 🤷♂👍
@@HollisNancysHomestead That's right. It don't take but a few stings to make us watch out for them. They hide from us and then make a party out of their attacks. Just seems unfair 😉Thanks for your reply.
I’m in south Alabama and it’s so hot here right now so I am torn on if I should put my seeds outside or keep them in a window. Does it do better in partial shade even if it’s 92 degrees out??
I'm having some trouble with my red Bell peppers, when they're turning red these orange ( looks like big ants) get on the peppers. I have used soapy water spray and peppermint water spray, can you HELP?????? PLEASE and thank you!!!! Love and learn from your videos
I'm having trouble with my red Bell peppers, these orange ( large ant looking) keep getting on them!!!! I've tried soapy water spray and peppermint water spray and can't get rid of them!!!!! HELP PLEASE, live in zone 9
You two are so cute working together. Now there is no way you two can eat all of that. What do you do with the excess? Do you sell at a grower's market or something?????
Over the years we have learned to do everything as a team. As we continue to grow old we must become more of a team on everything we do. No ma’am, we don’t sell anything. We share with friends and family. We also donate to help those in need. Nothing goes to waste. ❤️
I prefer to start my seeds in seed starting trays and transplant the seedlings to the container. That way I can add fertilizer in the hole with the seedling transplant to kick start the plant. I don’t add any fertilizer when starting my seeds

I don’t use mulch. Simply watering in the morning will be enough

I am curious, why don’t you just plant directly into the small pots instead of the small trays?
I like to start my seeds in trays then transplant the seedlings into containers so I can add fertilizer directly in the hole with the seedling.
Why didn't you use the cinnamon on the seeds?
I only use that when I am starting seeds indoors
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank! Have a Blessed Day!
Why do you always start in pots. When do you ever plant seeds in buckets.
I prefer to start my seeds in seed starting trays and transplant the seedlings to the container. That way I can add fertilizer in the hole with the seedling transplant to kick start the plant. I don’t add any fertilizer when starting my seeds
I don't see the soil ingredients?
ua-cam.com/video/VLYE5UlutDM/v-deo.html
Looks like peat, cow manure, perlite, potting soil, and a pinch of blood meal.
so, why not iceberg lettuce?
I prefer the different varieties other than iceberg because of the rich taste and more nutrients
