I pick the leaves and not the whole head. Plus I plant them on the north side, behind the tomatoes (some shade). I had lettuce into the mid-summer last year. |

I have my lettuce and cabbage in raised beds and not sure what I want to put in there after I finish harvesting them. Tomatoes. Peppers, cukes Etc go on the other side of the house in a different Garden.

Try turnip and rutabaga or even carrots. Brussels sprouts and broccoli can also serve the second season well.

I am on second attempt with lettuce, though wife dumped enough seed in a 6x14 planter to raise a farm's worth... Beans and cukes have done the best so far. Peppers are ok, just smaller than I expected. Basil is clearly not a fast starter?
I have to add a few raised planters with critter protection figured into the design. Much will be on deck and front landing due to rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels among others. Will be looking to add individual tomato plants that have been started early in a greenhouse.

Peas,onions and spinach are fine. Asparagus gets stunted but I have picked twice already.
Funny story: a woman saw me with a fistful of asparagus and exclaimed Wow,already!
I told her I planted it three years ago and that this was my first harvest...

Watch for powdery mildew infestations with dr who. One night without any breeze inside can cause a major outbreak. May or may not be speaking from experience nightfighter

Ahhh, that makes sense now. Always wondered why all the focus on the ventilation system when building these grow rooms.... Plumbing and running the lines, usually through a sill plate was usually the worst part of the builds. (not happening in my house, for the record)

Yup. One time harvest that will be handled by the source of my plant... I finally quit cigarettes before my knee replacement surgery, so not going to even tempt that myself. Gummies, butter, and salves are a different story for me, however. Going to see how much comes out of it and let my son have first shot at it. If he says it is any good, I will certainly sprinkle the infield....face to face of course. It is a pretty complex, time sensitive process if you do any research on it. I did one plant this year, simply because I could. Has been fun, but also enough to have scratched that itch.... |
