Garden Tip - Harvesting Lettuce

Tips, Tricks

1. Yeah how do u get the seeds?
2. Plant okra right next to ur lettuce for shade
3. the best way is to cut off the outer leafs, and leaf the rest alone.
4. Try 40% shade and it should do well. But the heat is another issue. Lettuce will start to really suffer over 80 degrees.
5. Haha "the leaves you leave"
6. How long until they are mature?
7. Can you then save the seeds to grow the next season?
8. i do this too..
9. You space is beautiful. Love the harvest. /Thanks for the tip. Question: What happens when you allow the plant to grow to large and it flowers? 
10. wow, thats amazing, they look beautiful! Do you have them in shade? Why I ask is I planted about 20 heads of lettuce last fall & they did great, but now in the late spring early summer I'm not so sure in Fl. I've started seedlings inside & now I'm not sure if they can stand this kind of heat. was wondering if anyone has had success with the shade cloths & what % would you use for lettuce in my hot area. Many thanks!!
11. My dad always said that cutting the lettuce makes it bitter.
12. wow great job! im going to model my victory garden like this next season!!! check my garden out currently! 
13. Very informative, thank you!
14. Good tip. I usually only grow a few plants, and I also just pick the outer leaves for a sandwich or salad on an as-needed basis. Works just great.
