what kind of seed starting mix do you ise

Such a warm, compassionate, soul and being type of meaning. Walking through organic grocery stores being dictated/held by gunpoint to spend incredible amounts of money...

Depending on the variety. You can get multiple cuts from the lettuce. Itll regrow if you flat top many strains leaving about 2-3"

wow... you are really awesome..! love the recipe part... made me hungry lol =P

Great video. Thank-you.

Great video, thanks!

Finally dressing healthy

I hate lettuce but I really want to grow it and since I am a kid I think about what my family like I am growing chillis strawberries tomatoes chives and coriander for my mum to use in her cooking because we get tonnes of people who my mum invites round. What fruit/veg can I grow but on a windowsill because I dont have a bed (plant bed)

Wow I'm really loving ur videos I live in southern Cali just started some seed planting of lettuces and spinach and cilantro and some other things hope for good crops I'm trying to go organic 😃 ur videos r helpful

Excelente a qualidade dos videos e a sua didática para explicar os conceitos! Parabens pelo trabalho! Looking foward to see more of your videos!

Siloe, I have a gardening question! In your video, I noticed the many maturing lettuce plants on your bench. How long do you keep your seedlings under lights, before allowing them to hang out on the porch? Do they stay there until mature enough to transplant, or do you bring them in at night?

What's your favorite variety of lettuce? Buttercrunch is my current favorite.

I love your show It is full of information that can be used right away.Also I love the way you present everything from great illustration concepts to the way you display gardening as nothing anyone couldn't handle. If I were to suggest an improvement on the show it would be some voice acting work but the show stands well as is. I think that this could be a big hit if it isn't already.

How do you keep pests away from lettuce?

Again, thanks for the tips. I've become addicted... :)
If you have a lot of lettuce to spare and don't know what to do with it, for preserving lettuce for future use, u can chop and cook it as a dense soup. This may destroy most of its water soluble vitamins, it will still preserve minerals contained in it.
Not sure, if dense soup is a correct translation. Its like a soup, but you make a dense cream of oil and flour and add this to the soup.
