There are lots of great tips in this video. Can you feel Jesse's energy? Like a double shot expresso ☕️ Awesome!

man these video are so well made. even after a whole day toiling and planting in the sun i can keep my attention to your lessons/sharings/teachings. (however you want to call them). Many thanks!

Just purchased your book can’t wait to read it. Thanks for all the effort you’ve educated me so much on gardening keep up the great work!

Interesting, funny and packed with great info!! Thanks from Nova Scotia

I've found it is important to trellis something on the west side of your lettuce. I use something thick like Cucumbers. The worst part of the day for lettuce is the late afternoon. Your lettuce really needs no direct sunlight after 2pm in the summer, so trellis on the west side and block that afternoon sun.

Thanks for sharing!I planted lettuce today and will re plant every week and follow your info

Jesse is the man! Just nerdy enough to get it right, but funny as hell. Funny, nerdy, people make the best teachers!!

Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.

'We snuck in a cat'. Nice. Fantastic video, need to get one of those rake tine rake thingumyjigs. Many thanks.

Absolutely enjoyed your video. First time viewer and new subscriber. Lots of great info, definitely will be implementing some ideas.

Great video bro... super informational and interesting !!!

Man I love this channel

this is intensely practical stuff. thank you!

Thank you for a 👌 video. Learned a lot of nice tips. Gold nuggets.

Interesting construction on your green house . I like it . I live in Knoxville Tn. I need to come up with something for my fig tree in winter.

Learn so much from your videos.

Right now in my lettuce I have timers with overhead sprinklers I run them 4 minutes every hour Around the Clock the soil seems to dry out between each watering but it keeps it cool enough that it keeps growing and tastes pretty good, both of my salad mixes and my Salanova

love the pj's and info lol

Nice video first time watching and also first time getting into farming so your video is really helpful for me

Awesome content i learned SO MUCH> Thank You!!!

saludos desde Tlaxcala México, voy a probar tus consejos en este verano para mis lechugas.

Really appreciate in your videos!! Wonderinh if you could mention more (prices/cost of things, time/labor intensity, what might be some hidden fees/costs/obstacles and also the size areas for the land / beds size your mentioning and talking about!!) All this really helps to put into perspective my farm and how these things can be incorporated in on my farm and how to relate it all together! Thank you! Ps. I'm in MN and y'all got way longer growing season however what you're doing on your farm still relates to us up here! Very cool y'all!! Keep up the awesome work!!! 🌱💜🌱🤘🏼

Great videos friend!

Another great video!

Wow I must admit your Barnes is very beautiful I am a new farmer and I hope to have mine looks just as good as yours

just started farming and this video was very helpful i really wanted to plant lettuce but i thought with this african sun its not the best time but tomorrow i am off to the nusery and i am definately taking that leap of faith and plant lettuce

Did you grow the cat from seed? 😆 Great content. Keep it up 👍🏼

Jesse : King of farming tutorials.

Great Advice!

Love this! How many lettuce should I plant per square meter?

Hey Jesse great stuff. We are in our second season in southern Illinois zone 6b. Can you expand on what varieties of salanova you tend towards in the summertime? We typically grow the premier collection (green, red butter head and green, red oakleaf) it worked well last year but im wondering if there are other varieties that might stand up to the heat a little better. Thanks again.

Good tips! Thanks! Lettuce is one I haven't been back to in years. The cat is no-till right? :) With the crops I'm growing I do all night irrigation.. takes advantage of dew, prevents evaporative loss, lets plants take up moisture and nutrients and also on cool nights adds some moisture from dew condensation on cold damp soil (spring water).

If you are far enough South, you need shadecloth all summer long in high tunnels. I grow everything under 50% shade cloth near San Antonio--we are farther south than San Diego, so the sun is strong year round.

Man I love your work, Im starting my farm this year and its super nice to see the true no till being possible on a larger scale. Love the everbed idea. That is truly game changing. Thanks for all of the information. Excited for all of the learning to come :)

Good video

It's Shelly McFluffers!

I do most of my gardening in my pajamas. 🙃

Your awesome.. informative...and very funny😋

Growing with carrots for natural shade. Its already 90 here in CA so wish me luck! Grew these babies from seed so Id hate to see them wither away 🤞

What is hardening off? And could you shade it with beans or even tomatoes? We had weeks of 110 Temps so I'm not sure we can pull this off. Or maybe we will look more into tunnel gardens. Thank you for this. Tons of great information

ThankQ

thanks!😀

Have you tried using 50% shade cloth for direct seeding lettuce in the summer? Looking to try here in the Northeast where highs are in the mid 80s.

You have no idea how often im in the gardens still wearing pj pants. It like kids dressed and off to school to the gas station for my morning soda and back, stepping into the garden and making a plan...all still in my pj's

Great video thank you, one though I'm very small I do sell about 500 a week but are use Charles Dowdings method of growing lettuce by harvesting the very bottom leaves it's time-consuming but it works for me and I get beautiful lettus off a few plants maybe 25 but it works for me because I'm really really small. I am going to try your tips on growing some lettuce and keeping it from being bitter. Thanks

I find direct seeding lettuce in early to mid March even if there is a bit of snow gets me really early lettuce in raised beds. Ontario Canada zone 5b

Great video my friend, where can I get one of this tools to cut the mesclun mix ? I am talking for the one that gets power from a power drill that I show in your video

I have trying lettuce indoors and outdoors and NEVER have it live past a the starter phase. It's either too hot, doesn't like the sun, too cold. I will try the kinds of lettuce you suggest and your instructions. I will let you know if they actually make it.

I have better luck in my grow room in the summer, of course I turn on the air conditioner and it makes it the right temp ; ) The summer heat is not only relentless on the lettuce, but on me as well. I am getting spoiled in my old age.

Hi there, how do you make soil blocks?

I bought heat tolerant lettuce varieties like iceberg and the red one variety that i want to plant here in philippines on summer. Is it still require to install greenhouse or plastic cover even they are heat tolerant?

How do you keep pests under control on Lettuce? I live in SD and I have been very unsuccessful growing lettuce but 80% of my lack of success is due to tiny green inch worms. The chickens love them but I really don't want to have to cover my lettuce all season. Thanks for all the great content!

Hi... great info! I would like to be able to download the Summer Lettuce ebook, but the link is not working. Is it still available? If so, where can I find it? Thanks!

But then we stuck in some, we stuck in some.. a cat 😂

Just found your channel. Your farm is awesome! Do you have any issues with gophers, voles, or moles? I'm organic and thinking about growing lettuce so I'm wondering what you do to manage the little boogers?

We snuck on a cat, lmao

I like

?? What did you say is the cloth/material you used for your hoop house?

Hello my name is Ken....i am in South Carolina zone 7 b.....i am a Moringa Oleifera grower...i have a question about acclimating my trees to the colder climate...the trees grow in the tropics but i have been able to grow them here but not for a complete season...Is there any way to teach the trees to grow longer so that they will bear fruit ? I am just a back yard grower with plans for expansion to other properties. Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated thanks....

snuck in a ....cat. lol.

Best summer lettuce varieties?

So unrelated to growing lettuce... I noticed that you grow your corn roughly 2 plants deep and your rows are spaced far apart, or solitary. How do they fair in high winds and how's the pollination? I try to do at least 3 plants deep if I only have one row or a grouping and they get plowed by the wind and pollination is never what I think it should be. I don't have the space or the need for more plants but I want mine to be or at least look, as sturdy as yours do.

What temperature do you germinate in the cooler? Ours is always set at 41 F, should we up it to germinate salanova?

What kind of temperatures/humidity are you dealing with? I work on a 5 acre farm in south/central Florida and we just cover crop in the summer. Also-seems like white landscape fabric would be good for ground cover.

I’m curious - why is harvesting different for direct seeded vs transplants?

hi! whycan't you cut de salanova heads with the harvester? thanks

Beautiful animal. Huggable

you do two-row corn? does that work? i always do 4 or 5 row corn.

@No-Till Growers / Jesse, so interesting you say to just mist/water overhead all your crops during extreme heat of day (due to them needing water several times a day). If you go on facebook gardening groups/etc, there's a ton of discussion/focus about doing everything you can to avoid getting water on your leaves as the hot sun will burn the leaves if there's water on them.

How long before your transplants are ready to go into the ground?

i didn't know you could grow celery in the heat of kentucky. can we see your celery plants? can you talk about when you plant those? and i assume you transplant?

yup I'm with on transplants. I wish I could figure out a radish, carrot seed rate. so I can pull my radishes without having to thin my carrots

How do you keep it weed free?

Thanks - great info and enjoyed the video Re: landscape fabric - ya, everyone uses it, and everyone shouldn't. I mulch with straw and plant my lettuce in it. Keeps the soil moist and cool. My "operation" is much smaller than yours, so it's easier for me to avoid. Still, it would be nice if it there was a more environmentally friendly option.

Sorry bro...you have no idea how hot it gets here in Phoenix. Damn near need to run AC in a greenhouse.

You using johnnys salenova?

What temperatures are your summers

Where do you get your compost?

Chur

Does the cat use your field as a litter box? Mine does. Annoys me. This is the first of your videos I have ever seen. I'm going to be checking out the rest. Nicely done.

Hydroponic lettuce trumps soil grown lettuce all day everyday!....

You cant fool us , matthew mcconaughey. You lost lot of weight though.

Bro I like your content but you kept the camera on you for too long.

I live in central florida, i was growing lettuce until december and at night when real cold outside, the lettuce was never more firm, plump, i always harvested at night.
