I have guinea pigs. Romain is their favorite. They can really put it away. Maybe I can save a few bucks by growing the lettuce

Thank you for sharing this great video. HINT: If you'll put the words Romaine Lettuce: How to Plant (FIRST.). You will receive more hits on your video... putting "HOW TO" is way down on the LIST of Videos... Thousands of videos start with "How To".... Change the arrangement of your words... the first 3 to 5 words are the most important. EXAMPLE: Romaine Lettuce: How to grow and harvest your own.

Hi Nicole, great video. Thanks alot. Here in Jamaica our temperatures are 75 and up... summers are high 80s/low 90s... would these lettuce thrive if I kept them in a shaded area rather than in bright or direct sunlight/heat? Thank you.

@penelope955 2 жыл бұрын

direct sunlight is best but just make sure your watering them so they don’t dry out also don’t water them in the morning bc that makes them burn up during the hot day. water at night! hope this helped

@emilymcv.9659 Жыл бұрын

Based on research I've done, you'll want to keep them shaded some and also give them sun. Like she said in the beginning, too much direct heat or hot temps and its likely to bolt or reflower seeds and the lettuce won't taste its best like that.

@orah6084 2 жыл бұрын

What do you do with the ones that are starting to bolt like that? Can you cut down that stalk and it would regrow?

@mac11music29 2 жыл бұрын

Only one way to find out I guess haha

@dross10001 Жыл бұрын

Once they start bolting they will taste bitter so the plant is a loss.

Wow, that is amazing so if I cut it off at the stem. It will regrow every year or once. It will regrow.

Steel containers are readily available at stores like Home Depot. You just have to drill holes in the bottom for drainage. Behrens is the brand I like: www.amazon.com/dp/B000AS3OVY?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamznicolebu-20&creativeASIN=B000AS3OVY&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.230I7160RRHXM&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d_asin&th=1

When you cut leaves or the whole head how do you keep it from wilting so fast. Is my plant just not healthy and hearty enough to stay refrigerated for a day or so. I've tried washing and keeping in paper towels or cutting not washing but still storing in paper towels wilted either way. I found also sometimes cutting and getting to the table that day still wilted. I love salad and want to grow my own.

I have been trying to grow my own romaine lettuce, and while it is growing beautifully, it is so bitter it's inedible... do you have any advice on how to fix that?

@Gardenary Жыл бұрын

Hmm, bitterness is usually from the plant trying to go to seed. Once the leaves are bitter, they're probably past their prime. In the future, try growing it when it's cooler outside. Most places are probably too warm now for lettuce

You can try at the beginning. The flavor of the leaves will change. Romaine becomes bitter, so you may no longer want to eat it.
