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

Zone 9... Florida is HOT. So my lettuce grows fast and tall in the shady sunny area under a tree.its so easy too get seeds from too. All i have is from one store bought plant and took it too see from the bottom cutting. So easy.

Such incredible information. I love the loose leaf method and have found it gives so much more. FANTASTIC!!! Thank you.

Super informational! Thanks! I've started growing lettuce this year, and yes, it's so easy. I needed to know when to harvest it. Thank you!

Very informative, thank you so much! Answered so many questions I had

I was wondering about the cut-and-come-again method of harvesting. Thanks for the video!

Wow... thanks so much for all this great tips..🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

That's great!, I'm going to start but wanted to know if you need to replant a new seedling after you cut out the romaine head?

Thanks so much, I'm seriuoslt going to grow romaine lettuce now.

Nice!

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.

TY for shearing. I was wondering if I can just pluck off a few leaves for a salad.

Thank you. I need to cut mine in the morning. I sure have NOT been cutting anything because I didn't know when. You're awesome.

TODAY... I went to (try) to buy some Romaine Lettuce... at Albertson's Store... usually they have a big beautiful bunch ... TODAY... it was Very Little for $2.00 each... I thought oh heck "NO"... This year I'm growing my own...

You're so cute! Thank you for helpful!

awesome !!!! Thank you :) you look awesome !!!! Thin healthy super tanned !!! Good job :)

What are its sunshine and watering needs? Can I grow it indoors? It’s too hot out in south Florida.

And how far apart should the seeds be planted? Thank you🙂

I bought starter plants. Mine are not forming tight bunches and the stalks are not thick. The leaves are doing beautiful but my plants are top heavy and keep falling over. Any tips

So you plant the lettuce in that container or start them in smaller starter pots?

I have romaine growing indoor in a hydroponic set up. They are growing very tall and are floppy. Can I replant them in a container like yours, and they will continue to grow?

Can I grow Romain in my house in winter seasons alberta. Thank you

I wanted to grow these in my unheated garage under grow lights until spring. What is the lowest temperature these will actually grow in ? (not exactly sure yet what the temp is in my garage, I just bought some remote/wireless thermometers.

wow 🤩 where do you get your seeds

Love the plant tub. If I were searching, what exactly would I call this? & which material would be best for not getting tarnished?

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

My romaine saplings are growing with the leaves sitting on top of a 4” - 6” stem. Do I need to replant so the stem is buried, or let them continue with the leaves on that tall stem?

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.

Mine seem more leggy. Like vining more on the ground. Is that bolting?

Where do you live where any vegetables are sitting on the grocery store shelf for 2 weeks?

How often do you water it?

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.

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

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.

I tried to grow it this year but it looked nothing like this. I now know why. Better luck next year

Mine keeps getting stunted. I start them inside then put them out side after 2 weeks or 1-2 in’s tall and they die the next day

Can you do this indoors? Needing a substantial supply for my finches. Help??

Interplant with lots of other plants like chives, calendula, onions, etc.

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

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

so you saying once i start cutting it if I cut around it leaves will grow again from the same plant I cut??? I do not need to throw away from the one I cut and replant another. ??

Yes, just cut the lower leaves and leaves the main stalk growing. I have been harvesting off the same romaine plants for over ,3 months.

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.

Why does it never grow back the same? I can grow it easily, but the leaves are bitter.

That can happen. Bitterness usually means the plant is stressed and going to seed.

Having you & romaine lettuce in shade against all that sunshine background makes you very hard to see, video very dark. Otherwise, great video.

Not a how to video at all
