I always have a problem with growing lettuce and not sure what I’m doing wrong, and I haven’t seen it brought up on YouTube yet. Basically all the varieties I grow (romaine, black Simpson, and buttercrunch) grow a long stem and randomly shoot out leaves. It kind of looks like the way a borage grows. Do you have any tips on how to keep them grow like normal looking lettuce? Love your vids btw 🙂
Can i grow these in the summer? If i give them a bit of shade
This is such a great video and great info! Thank you!
Have a question can you use the seeds from a plat you grow from Walmart as opposed to heirloom seeds
my butterhead lettuces first true lives always die, or they turn half white and dont grow more, was that not because of cold?

Iceberg is kinda boring, but I swear it's the best for a burger all shaved up. Beef, turkey or veggie burger.
Now I'm hungry
It’s called a salad spinner!
I cut the heads off and they grow back without the crown. I suppose it depends what variety of lettuce you are growing though.
I have my problems with salad, yes everyone eats it, but a single salad has the same space as a broccoli or a colrabi. and I think there is more of it, since salad is very common Item in Stores it is cheap. Sorry Written with Google translate.
Love the videos! Thank you for all the helpful information! Much appreciated!
