This year I discovered Muir lettuce. Held up and didn't bolt or get bitter in 90+ degree heat. Even hit triple digits and was fine in the shade. Will be a staple from now on.

[sarafeltman]

what is your feeding schedule for growing lettuce/greens? You mentioned blood meal and fish fertilizer but didn't say how much and how often.
I check almost daily to see if you have posted a new video and appreciate so much the time that you invest for us.

[katiem]

Boy did I need this one. I have had no luck with lettuce.

[joefization]

Lettuce is a welcome weed in my garden. I leave a few plants to go to seed every year and they self sow all over the place. I've hardly had to plant any for several years.

[howardfowler]

Thanks for reminding us to get growing lotsa fall/ early winter lettuce for the holidays. My favorites are mixed leaf lettuces together with some kale plants and bunching onions as a border. Those lettuce plants shown are gorgeous! Looks like you're gonna have many fall- winter salads to enjoy. Your MG videos are always well done and helpful. Many thanks!

Buttercrunch is an incredibly easy, productive and great tasting lettuce to grow. I wish I had discovered it years earlier. I germed mine in the shade last month during the insane heat wave and was able to start planting under my shade clothes this week.

Your content never disappoints. I'm in Southeast SC, same zone as you Times feel very scary to right now and it's comforting to watch your channel. Thanks 😊

[richardcharvet]

I hear you. We have had a heat wave since the end of June here in CA. Never has it been this hot. My crops that normally grew, fried. Zucchini never grew. Cucumbers never germinated. Raccoons ate my grapes. It's hot but it is intense heat that fries everything. So, I feel your pain. I did have a good crop of radishes, but now they are not doing much. I do have some tomatoes that did okay, but others did a lot of nothing.

[naomiledger]

I love lettuce. Can't have too much lettuce! 😁

[nancyholston]

Thank you again for all of the info. Thankful you do the trial and error and save your audience from doing it.😊

[Tygydyk]

Thanks man, ordered Romaine Giant Ceasar and Variety Pack. I am in 10a, still little to warm but I take your advice and will start them indoors for now and wait till cools off a bit.

Хоть и живу в Сибири, но с удовольствием вас смотрю:)

[tinatriestoplan]

Im growing a romain now. I forgot what variety but i think its parris island, ir something like that. It is absolutely beautiful. My first time growing lettuce & being successful. Im in zone 6a.

[hiltonhillhomestead]

So dang glad I watched this before I started planting my Fall crop tomorrow!! I had no idea that certain lettuce varieties should be grown in certain seasons, I thought all lettuce could be grown in Spring, Summer, and Fall!! Thank you for saving me a lot of lettuce heartbreak...Lol!!

[SuzanAlbright]

Thank you for all your wonderful videos and helpful tips. We have had our best garden yet, after following your advice, . We understand that your area is receiving abnormal amounts of rain today. I hope and pray that you, your loved ones and your gardens are all safe. God bless.🙏

[geoideas]

Yyaasss just in time. I’m starting my lettuce today. 🎉

[ChuckP.]

Anthony- thanks for the video. We followed your advice and are on our 4th planting of lettuce this growing season here in Iowa. Thumbs up. Hugs to Dale. Sorry I called you Andrew in the last post. My nephew was here. Peace.

I love planting romaine. I get plants already started at Lowe’s or, like this year, I got them from a local farm supply store. I also planted some early jersey cabbage and planted carrots from seed. I also planted some butter lettuce. Everything seems to be coming up and growing nicely so far.

[TeeRust]

I grew Jericho romaine this past spring thru early summer. Very good for hot climates; bred in Israel. I have never grown lettuce before and it did well for me in Mississippi.
