I'm a bit offended. But thanks for this video.

Iceberg lettuce is the most used lettuce in Mexico lol and I love it. It's my favorite type of lettuce because it feels so refreshing and watery.

Iceberg tastes great..so I'm gonna just go ahead and disregard this video lol

Lots of good points John... although I actually quite like iceberg lettuce and as you say it stores well in the crisper; also it's not as soggy when made in a sandwich for school lunches! However, I find our loose leaf lettuce (like you are growing in the background) do store well in the crisper as well sometimes our cut lettuce lasts weeks so in general I certainly agree all lettuce is awesome :)

You will have to pry iceberg lettuce from my cold, dead fingers, lol! I love it!

I love iceberg lettuce! I found 1 head of homegrown organic iceberg lettuce at the farmers market one time. It was huge. It was expensive. And it was totally worth it. It was the most delicious lettuce I've ever had. I need that in my life! ☺

I have a couple of reasons to try it: 1. I love the stuff; crispier and sweeter than most other stuff, and plenty of roughage. 2. I've tried Romaine and some leaf variety with "butter" in its name with less-than-stellar results. Gotta try the iceberg next year.

Thank you for the Closed Caption(CC). I'm Brazilian and I'm learning English. Great channel!!!

It's too cold here for growing year round, but we just bought a 4' grow light and are setting up the worm room as a grow room as well. We're getting ahead on it, little by little. Thanks for all of your videos and for the inspiration.

I'm trying some different types of greens like you suggested! I even purchased two tree collard cuttings and they are growing nicely! Can't wait to have some greens even in the Vegas summer heat!

Hi John please consider extending the t-shirt sale for two more days or until June 1st. Just a big fan with a small pay check that definitely wants to contribute to your dream when the moola comes in.

I love the Cos...(sometimes called Romaine lettuce), it does keep well in refrigeration. The outer leaves are always my favorite and it slices so cleanly.

As Always great message! Have loved your channel for YEARS! I now have 2 4x4 raised beds & 5 4x8 all cedar, self made beds in my backyard & my own yummy compost. Getting "volunteer tomatoes & onions, Thai basil, sweet potato...mustards, broccoli...!! that pop up randomly from previous crops! Love growing my greens! Thank you :) John!

i love lose leaf lettuce, i grow it as early as i can get it in the ground and also grow it indoors in the winter in my wood seller which barely stays above freezing temperature with cfls and still get great yields! about 5 to 6 harvests before they start to taste really strong but have yet to see them bolt in the cold temps =) unlike summer.. lol

I live in the Southern California desert and my favorite lettuce is Rouge Grenoblaise, it is the first to come up in the Fall and the last to bolt in April. It is open, leafy and delicious.

I love how informative your videos are. Sometimes you get a bit longwinded, but I always learn a lot

Thank you. With Covid and you shop with long stretches in between a lettuce that stays fresh a long time inbetween cause not everyone’s got a big yard. We are lucky, we’ve got a lot of greens growing now, we can pick some every day. Thanks for the videos.

John could you please show us what a typical morning juice (meal) from you garden would consist of? or perhaps what kinds of plants you put together to keep yourself fed throughout the day?

excellent advise Johno,all your videos are very information packed good advice.I never thought of jucing lettuce.what a good idea.

I am digging that cap! :) Can also enjoy what nature grows on its own. I am eagerly waiting and watching a large cactus on the side of my neighbors driveway. They have said I can have all the cactus fruits when they are ripe... There are at least 200 unripe fruits on it currently if not more. It is a massive grouping of cactus plants. I will be in juice heaven. - Heidi

I've learned a lot about lettuce thanks for the video :)

I ordered a green the 1st day you had them for sale.. now just ordered a navy one for me and a green one for my wife. Cant wait to get them all!!!!! Hope you all the best!!!

Actually iceberg has more vitamin e and omega 3 as compared to other lettuce ... and no omega 6 ... I was recently low on HDL and the doc wants me on fish oil which I won’t take due to supplements are reported to be rancid ... omega 3 and vitamin e are two things I show as low in when I run my raw vegan diet through chronometer ... I usually just put a cup or so in my salads for palatability, then I mix some combo of spinach, red leaf, arugula, cilantro etc... I plan to start having 3-4 cups a day and more other leafies too... while I have green salad daily, I have been wanting to eat larger amounts ... consuming iceberg will help me for sure

Hi John, I totally with you. Why grow things you can buy in the shops. Expand your thinking open your minds to new things. Try different stuff the taste is different with every vegetable you grow even if it's in the same family. Okay too grow some veggies you can buy compare flavour too shop bought ones. But grow as natural as possible so you can taste the real flavour of what your growing. Not some chemical crap you can buy. Thanks for another great video bye...

I'm growing iceberg lettuce in an aerogarden and it's fine. Due to limited space, I harvest the outer leaves often so the inner leaves can continue growing. I like the crunchiness of iceberg and I mix it in a salad with the darker greens.

Iv'e been growing Black seed Simpson Lettuce. Grows very fast 45 days or less. This is a loose leaf lettuce that gets full sun on each leaf. :)

Would like to see more video's on the harvesting you do.

Thanks for another great video and that t-shirt is Awesome!

Hi john I watch all your videos and like every video you post. You have a unique style. I have learned a lot form you. What's lacking in your videos are organic pest control. I would be grateful if you could post videos about pest problems I tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, beans and other green leafy vegetables and how to control them organically instead of using sevin powder or spray. Thanks.

John you have a tag on your hat

I love your vids, always informative great job!!

Smart man. Im wanting to start a garden and this was very informative ❤

Thanks for the video's and the inspiration to achieve food sovereignty in the tropics.

We grow iceberg lettuce as a staple on our market garden and it's our thing! We love iceberg and so does our customers. To each their own though

I agree with your "rant," to each his own and we should respect others' personal choices. :) Thank you for your videos!

Jericho Romaine Lettuce is delicious and more heat tolerant than anything else we have ever grown since moving to the sunny Deep South from the arctic of Wisconsin. We love red oak leaf and salad bowl, but we have already been over 90 degrees three times, and it could be 95 in a couple days, so romaine is our choice for the ability to last to July 4.

Always NEED to hear your inspiring messages!

Thank you for taking your time to make this video.

Thanks for all the info on lettuce. Rock on.

Thanks John. Love your relative approach to things... good, better, best. :)

Love your videos. Keep up the good work.

I want to grow it because of how much it grows with one lettuce head. I’m growing butter crunch and it’s just too leafy. I would have to grow a bunch just to have as much as one iceberg

Wow! Great knowledge here. The tips are on point

Great video. I was overly distracted by the tag on your hat flapping around. Also iceberg is so delicious!

Love the hat John. Make those available to us too ;)

But I like it.

No rant necessary, I love coloured lettuces, kale, swiss chard, rocket. I eat this salad and love it ....rocket or some other leaves, hard cheese, sliced pear and walnut.

John, when do you think the shirts will be sent out? I've been checking my mail every other day for weeks XD

I did a KZfaq search for how to skin an elephant and this is what popped up. Anyway, I planted iceberg, black seeded Simpson and buttercrunch lettuce because that's what our seed store out here in the Boondocks had. I appreciate the info. "We should all focus on what we like about something". Your wisdom extends Beyond lettuce.😁 Edit: P.S. I like the shirt 👍

Great video ...I learned more then just about lettuce :)

This is our first time growing reg.leaf lettuce. I snipped sime tonight and it waa bitter. What am i doing wrong? If you could please help.

Great video buddy very informative.

I planted iceberg lettuce in cold and foggy San Francisco. The endless food and very wet mornings melted away the iceberg lettuce. Now I know why. Thanks.

hi im sultan can you tell me can the iceberge in aquaponic dwc or not make head becuse i need to make comcial

Late comment, I love the crispness of romaine do you recommend other types that are just as crunchy without growing iceberg?!

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing.

What’s the Best lettuce varieties to grow with large leaf’s?

I like the short format!

Very nice.

Another reason to grow iceberg is as a 'gateway' lettuce for young kids who are unwilling or not prone to eat greens. The mild, watery, crunchy flavor really appeals to kids, and gets them to like a leafy green, and perhaps more likely then to try others. I've seen this happen a lot with iceberg. Also, the water in iceberg is still 'living' electrical water, and is very hydrating, even if this type of lettuce doesn't have as many phytonutrients as darker leafy greens.

Should for me is I always feel dehydrated. So eating things have a lot of water is good for me.

Hi, John since you grow your Vegetables perhaps you can tell me the difference between real lettuce and other vegetables from plastic foods they are now selling thanks in advance.

@RetiredSeniorChief Not to disrespect you since it's hard to gauge someone's tone when it's just written, but here's my comment. I guess it's a propaganda to you because you don't feel its effects. El Niño just ended here that was also at the same time as Summer. Now we are entering Monsoon season as of May 24,2016. Earlier than normal, with the threat of La Niña incoming. As with most people who live in comfort, with resources and can get aid from different sources, plus houses with temperature controls, I guess it's really hard for you to imagine just how hard it is for people like us who have been suffering for years because of Climate Change and have a hard time recovering due to, we have only ourselves to rely on. I'm now worrying and in fear how many abnormal storms will be entering our country while you only think about your First World problems. You have no idea how abnormally hot the Summer was with El Niño this year. So many people died because heat stroke isn't that known here. So was storm surge. Then more people being hit by lightning I know you guys know what to do in these situations but it's new and abnormal here. A lot of education is now ongoing because people have no idea what to do since a lot of weather related deaths and freak accidents are happening that only rarely happened before. I hope that you keep an open mind and research or at least try to be empathetic to countries with less than 1% carbon footprint but are suffering and dying at the effects of Climate Change. I hope that my comment won't be misunderstood. I just want to really share what's going on on this side of the planet.

I like the information, but you chatter about other stuff way too much. This video is 11 minutes long with about 3 minutes of useful information. :(

I LOVE Iceberg lettuce. It is easily my favorite.

Can't wait for my shirts:')

Can you cook it with other greens like spinach and mustards etc

Thanks

thanks for the video!!!!

Cut and come again would have an effect cycling the interior leaves to the outside as the season progresses, wouldn't it? I just planted scraps for some zombie seeds.

What’s the Best loose Leaf lettuce to grow?

Can we grow it in aquaponics?

I live up north, dead east of minneapolis. My yard gets little sun, too many trees. I have no idea what to grow or where.

Romaine lettuce gives me the trots, but I can eat and do eat iceberg everyday. Wish I could remember what leaf lettuce is safe eating for me.

Can I get a head of lettuce and make a plant. I love iceburg. How can I grow it

Strong but well-informed opinions

where do you buy your seeds at for the lettuce that you grow ?

Variety is the spice of life, test a few then find the one that works best for you :)

Truly...not short enough

umm....the REAL paleo diet probably included lots of juicy bugs and grubs!

I'm here because of its judytime ! LOL nice one

Hey John, you use a lot of organic products but how come you grow hybrid plants?

how long does it take to grow Iceberg lettuce?

If I shouldn't eat iceberg lettuce....then I shouldn't eat cabbage either. naw.....I'll stick with both of them! DELICIOUS!!!

the link isnt working to buy a shirt

Í like your new hat with still having tag on it

you should do a cook book of eating your greens.

i ordered a green one the other day, where is my shirt, jon?

One thing you left off. Iceberg lettuce is about the only crunchy lettuce. Here in Costa Rica where I live we don't have any crunchy lettuce. I'm looking into hydro ponic lettuce

Do you know you still have a tag on your hat🤣

Nutrients don't come from sunlight . It is synthesized in plant itself. Same you will say for cabbage. Bacteria donot come in sunlit but are rich in everything

I see so many loquat trees in my neighborhood full of fruit but no one eats them. I wonder why not. They are delicious. Is it legal to pick fruit from trees on someone's property?

KZfaq should have an appeal option for all dislikes. I really enjoy this mans tutelage...

You my fav dude

WHERE can we buy small starter Moringa trees in Florida ? Lots of info on them except were we can buy a tree. NONE of the nurseries have them like Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc. Not even the local nurseries have them.

Is he wearing a life alert? what happened?

Youre right man iceberg is the worst. If you grow it you are in for a bitter surprise. I am really bitter about my iceberg harvest..

One and most important to me to grow iceberg lettuce to me is it taste better in my opinion

I think that iceberg lettuce gets diseased easily because the leaves are so tight and can not breath as easily, which of course is a bad thing when it rains a lot. Also when it comes to hybrids there are two types. 01) The type that companies make, they are usually a down grade especially when it comes to taste, they are developed with things like the following in mind looks, transporting well, how early they can be picked and long storing. 02) University made or personally made hybrids that have things like disease resistance, flavor, produce quality, and cold hardiness as main priorities.
