how do you keep your neighbours, cats and dogs out of your garden? It looks like your garden is in your front yard
that shirt is so cool
Beautiful, just what I needed. Your channel is like a library 😉
Thanks again Curtis!
Any idea which material Fair Share Farms uses for ridgepoles in their shade cloth tunnels? From picture in video poles look black in color….
Holy cow! I want that shirt!
This exactly what I was looking for. This Texas heat is no joke.
I planted 60 head of salanova (1st time use) in the hoop house and it is all bitter-not even full grown. No sun ever hit it and I keep the sides up all day for air movement. Live in Indianapolis. Planted 250 more head in the open in landscape fabric 2 weeks ago. Now I am worried.
My mustard greens went to seed before 21 days. They went to seed almost immediately, but we did have a hell of a heat wave for two weeks and I definitely did not water them for ten minutes. It's a landowner plot so I feel self-conscious about them coming to me with a whopping bill. Good thing I get the mustard seeds super cheap. Maybe I will just try it again.
Do you have a video on bed prep and planting lettuce?
Watering during the beating sun doesn't burn the green leaves?
Overhead is a great way to cool down the crop, we experienced better taste and no bolting after setting the timers to run for ten minutes every two hours from 10:00am to 8:00pm and then for 25 min at midnight.
What is bolting
Hey Curtis, I seem to have the opposite problem. My lettuce is too slow! I water them twice every day, and it's been hot (but Auckland hot is 23-26C). My arugula, red russian kale, and komatsuna is ready for harvest (around 21 days), but my lettuce is barely an inch tall and some have barely shown their first true leaves (tango variety especially bad). Seed packets suggest 28-30 days for baby leaf but I'm guessing they need at least 40 days (and the tango variety I don't think is even gonna grow). Do you think I should just try different varieties and make sure I plant them 2 weeks prior to the aux greens? I'm only experimenting atm, not selling.
that was very useful info!
Great content as always!
What kind of humidity are you working in during the summer?
I plan to use the shade cloth I'm in Charlotte NC
How can one grow non-succulent leaved greens in the desert in summer?
I’m trying planting in the ally ways of my Apple trees. Hope this works since most people don’t do lettuce for market around here in the summer!!
Maybe Urban Farming can come to Palm Springs!
Hey Curtis, I've been following your work for quite sometime now. Would you tell us where you get your Salanova lettuce seeds?
Hi Curtis. where do you get insect netting?
Man, this video is so awesome!
I have lettuce green seeds I planted that sprouted but haven't grown at all in weeks. I put them in the shade and they put out a new set of leaves but stopped growing again. Temperature here remains around 80 to 87F consistently and is pretty humid. Are they refusing to grow because of the heat?
Shirt is dope.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.
I am going to have to try beet greens 🙂
You've brought up an interesting point of cooling the plant…but I thought a #1 gardeners rule was never top water in the sun, as it will burn the plants? Can you please comment on this contradiction? Thanks
