In winter of 2024 here, Dec. 8th. Out here in Compton, CA. Thanks for the cool, informative video Kim! I'm growing some romaine, cabbage, arugula, spinach, beets, carrots and radishes! first time, so far so good...Gonna do the trimming soon as I see it how you described it! thanks!

I planted some lettuce a few seasons ago from your seed collection and let them flower and bolt. Now every cool season I get new ones sprouting on their own. I keep the cycle going so I haven’t planted any for a while. It’s the light green leafy variety but I forgot the name already 😅 I had the best salad a few days ago from it that was enough for 7 people.

This is our first year and I’m growing Dwarf Kale and the seedlings are already sprouted. I just thinned them out this morning and I really am looking forward to clipping home grown leaves in the coming months

Thank you for another inspiring video!

Glad I watched. I was cutting the whole top of my romaine! Parris romaine are more tender so I’m using your technique! TY❤

My raised bed have no winter fall plantings, the are getting a chance to rest and refresh the soil. It has been a few years.

I live in zone 9 with very hot temps starting May through September. This year I am going to grow 3 new to me lettuce varieties that are supposed to tolerate heat better and be slow to bolt; Merlot, New Red Fire and Silvia Red Romaine. I usually grow Black Seeded Simpson, but I'm getting a little bored with just green lettuce, so I'm going to grow darker reddish colored lettuce. Have you grown the darker varieties I mentioned?

[esthersdaughterlong]

Thank you Kim.
I'm growing your Romaine lettuce. The plant's are growing great.
Unfortunately this morning I noticed 3 small lettuce plant's just up and disappeared. No signs of animal's. Do I need to put an alarm on my grow bag? 😂

[jeanniereginato]

Earwigs in my lettuce😫 Any suggestions to safely get rid of them?

[Elena-zmfc]

Can lettice grow with the temperatures of 0 at night?
Will it grow or it will just sit there?
Can you plant it in a frozen/very cold soil?

I hate that lettuce grows in winter instead of summer. I like my salads in the summer, not winter! Winter I want warm foods!!
