Many thanks from Zimbabwe🇿🇼🙂👋🏾 I'm planting some lettuce later today so these tips have come right on time 😎😉👍🏾
James seems like he is a good soul. We need more people like this. Really enjoy his show and also seeing Tuck.
If he had the best soul he would feature foster dogs in his videos
Yes.. we need more people like this in Jersey!!!! He represents the good folks here well 😀
His lettuce looks really good
Does anyone know what that purple/black looking lettuce is in his garden? (Not the lunox one, the other one at the beginning of the video)
@@elizabeths5032 And THIS is why we are sick of foster dogs being pushed on us!! NAZI mentality.
Love the tips. I learn each time I watch.
I pull my lettuce head with root when ready to harvest whole head. This way I put it on the kitchen counter in a cereal bowl Of water. The lettuce keeps longer as I can’t eat the whole head at one meal. And it looks so fresh and pretty on the counter.
James continues to be my favorite garden person. Energetic, informative, goes to the point, and never, ever complains about his fan base! Thanks, James!
Your merch needs some TUCK on it! -Fellow NJ resident and yorkie owner
Yeah I have been told that by a few people lol! I had a Tuck shirt that I removed, so I might have to bring it back from retirement.
Oh man, FOOD FOREST of the GARDEN STATE! Keep it up great work heading to your shop now!
I had a Beautiful row of kale... this morning. The deer must’ve thought it was delicious.
Been there, it least someone enjoyed it ❤
You are an inspiration and God loves you. You where the first one to inspire me to make a food forest back when I was just wanting to live off the land. I lost all my friends my wife cheated on me And stole all my money and now I live alone in he Appalachia mountains in a small home with land nearby. I spent all I had on supplies for this food forest am foraging all my vgetabls and non bulk dehydrated foods until I can grow some. I currently live off the land and do all my cooking lighting and essentials with solar I depend on this land for survival this food forest and trashed land I just purchased that im cleaning up is my only hope and will be doing it this season with a potentialy broken wrist. I found an abundance of everything in nothing and am happier then I ever was when I had everything I thought I needed. God bless you James without this technique and your wisdom you shared I dont think I'd be ale to survive how I need to. God bless you James I hope you recieve everything you want in life one love to you :) if your ever in the Sussex County area let me know I have 3.7 acres in a state forest with a nice stream for tucky to cool of in
Zzzzzz
not even kidding, I'm putting seeds in a germination trays right now and lettuce was my next seed package
Haha me and Tuck new it, we were just waiting for you to finish the last pack before the lettuce 😁
Thanks for lettucing us see how you grow lettuce. Grow ON!!
Haha clever pun!!
I'm growing that Forellenschluss lettuce, along with Merlot, Ruby Red, Lollo Rosso, and Tom Thumb.
Good thing you're talking about protecting the lettuces because we're going to see some insane heat ramping up this upcoming weekend.
Tuck is one hell of a gardener. He’s never afraid to dirty his nose.
Miners lettuce is also know as Winter Purslane, it generally grows in Spring not Winter, mine is growing now and I can make a salad with it, but it's also starting to flower. So it really is a misnoma to call it winter lettuce.
Your dog reminds me of my dog in the garden 😄 My Teddy is still just a 5 month old maltipoo but he follows me through every task and sometimes he will try to help me weed & he loves digging the holes for me to drop seeds in, we've been planting this week & every day he goes out with me and sniffs every single plant to make sure they are still okay, I guess 🤷♀️ plus he's even learning to keep the chickens out of the garden. Gardening is so much more fun with a little buddy to help out! You have great content, thanks for sharing!
Today! I'm only here for tucker. Of course... For James' energy.
I'm trying to grow enough lettuce to share with all of my neighbors🌱💕James thanks for being an inspiration and and bigger thanks for always sharing tuck with us💛
Lettttsssssss Gooooooo!!
I hope this video helps! You're welcome Jessica and thank you for always spreading kindness and encouragement in the comment section 😁🐕❤️
The majority of my veg/fruit, if I'm successful, is for the food pantry at my church.
I was really hoping you’d say “lettucccee gooooo” haha
@@bbsvchic that's kinda how I read the comment 😅
The response I got from a couple people I offered nice leaves to...was that it wasn't already washed. They prefer to buy from grocery .
The lettuce has done so great with this cool spring! I saw a cold out there in my food forest today! He popped up out of the leaf mulch!
James, your garden and presentations are great!👍 I am a fan.
I love the openings this year....you're very energetic when you say "What's Goin ON Growers?!!!!!"😂😂😂 The force is stronger than ever!
Haha it was a long winter 🤣
Boy James, you throwing out some fantastic knowledge on the lettuce. I had no idea how delicate they were, I would prefer starting seeds in trays as well. I tell you, you have a lettuce for evey day, you will not get tired of eating the same over and over. Good thing you start seeds elsewhere, that little Tuck likes to get in on the action. Always a great video. Thank you James and Tuck.❤❤❤❤❤🐶🐶🐶❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely love growing lettuce! Been doing high intensity in 10 gallon pots but gonna build some raised beds soon. since we just bought our house, it's go time!!
Good stuff!! Congrats on the house, now you can transition from your temporary setup, love hear it ❤️
Also lookin for a house and cannot wait to have a yard to grow in
@@mmmsshenanigans9422 awesome! You're gonna love it when you do!
@@alexandermonzon8165 I 10 per pot. 5 of one kind and 5 of another. I have 3 ten gal pots growing like this and they're doing great!
Hi James. I wanted to let you know that I built a hinged hoop house for a steel raised bed this fall. I planted in it a little late, by the time I had everything done, but my plants all survived the cold weather of last week. I live in SE PA, in Zone 6B, a half zone colder from you. I only put one layer of plastic on my bed, but then cover it with frost cloth (just right on top of the plastic, although it mostly just touches at the top). I let it drape to the ground where I weight it with bricks. When it got really cold, I put hoops inside the plastic hoop house I built, and put another layer of plastic inside. I uncovered today and almost all plants survived (all lettuces, kale, cabbage, cilantro, etc) other than those that were touched by the inner layer of plastic along the edges. (there was ice on top of that inner layer of plastic). I hope Tuck is well, and look forward to more of your videos.
Dude seriously…you are so good at giving GREAT information that I’m just not finding elsewhere…wonderful information 🙏💙💙. Thank you 😊 💙🙏
You are the man! Tuck is the garden police! Thanks for all you do!
The only thing I know that is even vaguely lettuce like that will grow in a central Texas summer is Malabar Spinach. Though i do have a shady spot and I'm gunna expirement with that Solar Flare just for fun.
Chard and leaf amaranth also work for me in summer. Green chard especially. Amaranth is lovely.
Hey James and Tuck. Love you guys! Thanks for all the info! I wanted to share an idea with you on your next March. My daughter and I would love it if you would create a tee shirt that shows you and Tuck together with your website on it. Also, it should say "Tuck approved". Thanks again! We love Tuck.🥰
I want a t shirt that says “tuck approved”
Great idea! I’d definitely buy a couple - one LS & one SS!
New fan, grower and subscriber. #crushing. I would def purchase 💯
You ignore camera person…
@@bdeneris do seed tapes work
It's great to see people growing their own food, and much healthier for both the body and the mind.
thanks for the tips James and Tuck
Hey bro, your videos have helped me grow and thus grow as a Gardner. What I’ve looked for and haven’t seen is a video of must have tools to start an efficient garden. Also, where can I send you pictures of the garden you inspired me to design? Thanks brother!
When I was younger I remember i had grown a little lettuce plant, tomato plant, and carrot plant. I was so proud of that salad
Hey James and Tuck. I have to say its very inspiring to see all of what you have accomplished with your garden. Its made me start my own garden in my back yard 3 years ago. And when im not successful in something you and Tuck inspire me to keep growing. I have planted more varieties and plants this year than i have ever done and really excited for this year. I really love these videos and i love seeing Tuck. Thanks for teaching me to be a better gardener.
Tuck is a good boy, protecting the garden ♥
Thank you James. Appreciate all the information and the video. Your lettuce looks amazing as does the rest of your garden. Looking forward to your next video.
Wow! You got me all into ALL these different lettuces! Thank you for the inspiration! 👍😊
Tucker is the best garden helper! We all need an adorable Tucker in our lives! 😍🙌🏻🌿
Thanks for the kind words Jackie and your right! We all do need a helper like Tucker 😁🐕
Just planted lettuce today. I did not thin while they were in the seed tray..😬. Maybe I’ll thin right now! Thank You for your show. Have been a subscriber for ~2 years now
Another excellent video. I've had good results sprouting lettuce seeds in hydroponic pebbles in a net cup and water then transplanting.
I’ve never cared much for dogs, but your Tuck is the cutest, sweetest little good-hearted companion.
You are blessed.
Also love the info on this channel.
Always very enjoyable to see you . Your energy is contagious thank you for all your videos.
I can't help but smile every time I watch your videos- your energy is so infectious 🙂 And Tuck the darling mini-gardener❤
Tuck has a job to do and it looks like hes on it!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My kids love watching your channel and seeing Tuck!
I transplanted some of my lettuce starts this week. Fingers crossed they keep growing!
Pretty lettuce varieties!
Good stuff, I bet they will just try and give them a nice little home to live in 😁
@@jamesprigioni they're in a 30" Birdies raised bed so we don't have to share with the bunnies. A Lettuce high rise!
Hi I enjoy your video I don’t have any space to plant but I enjoy watching you plant and harvest enjoy your fruits and vegetables bye.
What a stunning array of lettuces! Just beautiful ❤️
I cannot believe the variety of lettuce you have! Envy 😂Excellent video for a first time gardeners as well 😊
How lovely. I have so much miner's lettuce, I cannot eat it all. No Scurvy with this plant in your diet. Horseradish leaves is another of my main salad plants. Sorrel ( garden & Sheep) are also great in salads, and medicinal. Arugula, and parsley are also great in salads. I do not depend solely on just lettuce. If I have it, great, if there is no lettuce growing, no biggie. No green house for me, because raised beds, covered, are all that is required for overwintering most plants on south Vancouver Island, BC. My salads are Herbal salads, mostly.
This is my first year gardening and I’m clueless. I just learned more in your 17 min. video than I have reading an entire gardening book and countless other podcasts and TH-cam videos. Thank you!!
Have you ever had trouble growing parsnips? I have never been able to grow them from the bought seed. Any chance of a video with how to grow parsnips successfully please.
You are my absolute favorite!
I have a type of leaf lettuce that reseeds itself every year and is tender. So rainy on the West Coast this year so heaps of little seeds have started up. Love growing lettuce
Hey Lori...what lettuce seed? Another West Coast gardner.
@@ravenwildspirit just leaf lettuce: red & green varieties. I always let 1 or 2 go to seed every year and end up with 15-20 growing mid-May next year!
Can you send Tuck down to GA? We have a LOT more things he can chase away from our garden than just squirrels!!! Thanks for the channel and all the videos. We did an experiment with the square foot gardening this year - and it worked well enough that we've gone down the rabbit hole to do even more next year - including two more beds (and one will be in the front yard for all our salad greens too!). Appreciate the fun and energy you put into the videos and also the way you demonstrate things as well! Your channel and videos are the main reason we are moving forward and going to try even more next year! :)
Your passion toward and knowledge of plants makes this one of my favorite gardening channels on youtube. 👍
Always healthy looking plants and fruits/ vegetables. Love the energy and the knowledge based from your experience
Love starting transplants. Beats the pest cycle. Less losses
I pit the seeds on opposite corners and if both germinate I split the transplants
Me too. I got almost 100% germination of my tomato seeds, so I have transplanted lots of doubles to red solo cups. If they grow enough by June 6, I will have to give plants away. I have room for only 28. I have at least 6 varieties. Canning and freezing this year.
thank you for your knowledge brother! take care and happy growing everyone! Tuck is the best guard dog ever!
Love seeing Tuck in position to watch out for those squirrels who like to dig up gardens.
I came here from a really chill video that was playing in the background. Th "WHATS UP....." Literally made me jump in my desk chair
I'm in New Zealand, I've been watching you for a while now, your garden is great. Its the beginning on winter here/late autumn and I put lettuce in about 6 weeks ago I will be able to harvest lettuce, daikon, spinach, pak choi, wong bok and a few other Chinese green leafy veges all winter. But they bolt so fast in spring and summer here.
I direct sowed some lettuce seed in early December 2021, covered it when it started to grow and it sort of stayed dormant but it’s taken off and they’re huge! And yummy!
Can you show what you do with the lettuce after you harvest? Do you eat it all right away or do you store it and if so, how?
You make the best videos. Thank you for being so thorough!
On May 10th I didn't know what I was going to plant in my front porch planters, but figured I'd scatter some seeds and might actually get plants started by the time I get around to filling the planters. Well today on June 9th, I harvested some lettuce from those scattered seeds since I still haven't planted them up 😆🥬 There are also some basil seeds germinating in the back of the planters. They're so quick! I also started some from seed and I believe some germinated in only 1 or 2 days! It was incredible!
I started lettuce seeds in 2 Greenstalks on my porch to avoid the majority of pests. It holds 30 lettuce heads each so we can pick leaves as needed for sandwiches or side salads.
How did lettuce do in the Greenstalk? What zone are you in?
I throw the seeds in the ground. Survival of the fittest. I live in zone 9, and from November to the end of March, my lettuces boom.
This dude’s energy goes like he’s gonna flip all the tables he sees… in a good way 😅
Excellent video James. I didn't know there were so many different types of lettuces.❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck.
Absolutely love this channel, Thanks to your video's I have started a garden!
Now I get it why my lettuce is not coming up, I put it too deep, Thank you!
Another fine video James, I decided to plant some red raspberries this year and I came upon an early video of you on raspberries, boy have you blossomed, lol you were so reserved and quiet. Keep up the great work.
Your Lettuce samples are so beautifully stunning ⚛️🥬⚛️
Love the spacing tip depending whether it’s spring or fall
Tuck is on guard keep it safe tuck little buddy Hi to you too james Tuck comes first tho 😅✌🏻
Packed full of info! The best informative gardening channel!
Let’s Gooo!!! ❤️
"Forellenschluss" means "Trouts end". You can eat it as sald or you can fry it in a little butter and salt. 😊
I have learned a few things about lettuce that I didn't know before, ty ! ♡♡
I really like the way you cull the seedlings; it’s genius! Most people just pull them from the soil, disturbing roots of the healthiest plant in the process. Cutting them at the base makes so much more sense, especially for very sensitive sprouts like lettuce and carrots.
Hi James, great video as always. Your lettuce looks so amazing. What do you use to reseal the seed package with-was that painters tape?
Thank you! Please give Tuck some love from me❤️
I've just discovered this fellas videos. Holy moly can this guy pack 60 mins of info into 17mins! Intense! 🤣New sub here!
To reduce transplant stress, I'll mix the starting soil with the native should on the edges of the hole it's planted in to create a transition zone.
4th reason why I like starting in trays and transplanting out, slugs love to eat seedlings. That may be just me, I don't know.
James GREAT hint of the 40% shade cloth! It gets pretty hot here in Northern California, so far another early week of 90s°
Amazing video James definitely to step up my lettuce growing 🧑🏼🌾
Thanks for your input. Still haven't quite figured out growing in the desert (Tucson). I think I'm going to get a hydroponic tower garden forwater conservation.
🇩🇰🇹🇹What an inspiration. Very inspiring to watch. I am dreaming to have my own garden🪴. Never to late to learn. I have the appetite to eat a salad 🥗 with tomatoes 🍅 cucumbers 🥒 corn 🌽 etc. yummy 🤤
Lovely 🥰
Just started growing lettuce from seed...this video is SO informative! Thx for sharing!
I've always had a problem with lettuce seed germination and transplanting out ,it's very sensative.Good video James very well done as always.
Yeah those little buggers are finicky to get up if you bury them too deep
There's a company called Sow Easy that makes pelleted seeds of all the tiny seed varieties. They take the tiny seeds and make them about the size of a BB
@@skinnyWHITEgoyim Ive tried those before i got them from harris seed in New York they dont keep well planted a whole tray 48 cells not one came up seeds were only 3 years old.
@@roccoconte2960 every seed i have tried so far came up. I have only tried carrots and lettuce
Could you make a video on your favorite varieties of blueberries, raspberries, asparagus, tomatoes, etc? I would love to see all the different varieties you grow!
It's amazing everything you do I'm going to put it into practice in my garden
Just transplanted my lettuce seedlings two days ago and they have already doubled in size! I kept thinking they were tiny still for being 2 months old but I think they just wanted more space.
So I finally know why my lettuce was bitter to dry, I'm new to gardening and just figured it was a bad season but no, so cheers to better lettuce
Thank you so much for these tips! Last year my lettuce was bitter so I didn't grow any this spring. Probably too late now, living in TX, but will try in the fall.
You can probably grow some inside. I do that here in NJ for winter and late summer
Awesome information. Your camera man or woman is really really good! Adds so much to your videos.
I love the permaculture idea and the videos that you make and share to the people. Thank you for doing it, and I can see that you enjoy it. You have a gift...or several 😂. I've never seen such beautiful veggies before! Anyway, I see you and I love what you are doing with the whole food forest thing. I sincerely hope all people gravitate towards that.
Hi James, I notice you write numbers after the variety name...is that the date you planted the seeds? And when the package says 45 days, does that mean seed to harvest? God bless you for sharing your beautiful garden and especially Tuck with all of us!
Thank you James, for telling us the varieties. I love your harvest videos, and always pay close attention when you mention varieties. 👍😃
This year I planted Merlot lettuce and so far in high 80s low 90s Mississippi heat it's growing beautifully
Yeah merlot is a great heat tolerant one as well
Love, love your video and thank you so much for all the helpful information. I've been growing lettuce for about four years and those darn squirrels ate 1/2 of my small crop. Hubby built an amazing chicken fence around my two garden boxes. In regards to the miner's lettuce, I see this all over Yosemite National Park where I volunteer and I know the Native American Indians used to feed it to the gold miners back in the day! I'll be watching out for more videos and thanks again.
You need Tuck merchandise. I love that dog !
