- Growing Lettuce In The Fall. Lettuce is the perfect end-of-summer crop! With the super hot days of summer behind us, we can grow this fast crop before winter hits for a cheeky late season freebie, or, if you have mild winters, Lettuce just might be your source of greens until spring!
In this video I show you how I prepare my raised beds at the end of summer, using a no-dig style of gardening. With this method we don't disturb the top soil at all, instead planting the Mesclun Lettuce mix right on top of that old mulch layer! Its faster, easier, and most of all, it works better!

Thank you so much for making it simple!!!!
Thanks for watching Rhonda! Definitely once you get the no dig style down, or really is quite easy and straightforward! All the best!
The Ripe Tomato Farms IM EXCITED!!!!!!
Very helpful. I will try this year thanks for sharing.
Hey, happy to help, thanks for watching!
Lettuce gonna be my next project, love vegetable so much ❤️
I've been regrowing my Romaine Lettuce in water on my window seal. It works great!
Same here! Your body just feels so much better when you fuel up on them. Better skin, healthier hair.... And they are all so tasty!
@@stuffwelike7184 nice!! I'm having a hard time with my last 3 batches when I put them into soil... I have a feeling it's a pH issue...
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms The first one I did I tried putting it in soil after it started sprouting and it stopped growing. So I just started leaving them all in water changing it out every few days and they're thriving.
Wow. That's pretty cool. I am going to sow my lettuce seeds this way.
Its soooooooow easy Myla! ;) Really, once you direct sow this way, you'll never go back to digging around and ruining your top layer of soil again!
Nice video! Growing different varieties of lettuce in rows is so aesthetically pleasing.
Agreed! I love a full bed of a mosaic of lettuce leaves! Amazing stuff!
That looked easy enough👍👍great info
It really is Mark..all of the no-till no-dig direct sowing is. Very very low maintenance.
We've grown mesclun a few times. great variety!
Yeah, I'm looking for different mixes to try. Would love to come up with my own mix to sell....but it seems like that would be hard to pull together.
You sure make it look easy! Great video!
I'm in zone 7b and have a difficult time sprouting lettuce, it drives me crazy! I'm thinking I'm not covering them enough now after watching your video. I'm gonna try it your way and see what happens, thank you for the time you take in making these videos. I do enjoy watching them 😊
Ha ha hey Donna. It's not always easy!! Definitely though, you want to create that moist, warm (ish) environment that's stable... Perfect germinating conditions... Try curly green leaf lettuce first.. It sprouts like crazy.. The work up to the others like reds and spring mixes. You got this!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms oh sure now someone tells me 🤣 I started with the reds and spring mixes, LoL too funny. Curly green leaf it is!! 😂 Thank you so much I would have just kept trying! 🤣
@@donnaz1961 You got this! You can also try creating your own Lettuce plugs. I'm going to be covering that this spring...that way you can plant the very well established seedlings and get a head start. Many many ways (too many?) to tackle this!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I'll sure keep trying till I do, Lol I will also be looking forward to that spring video, heck I enjoy watching all your videos,
Thank you! 😎
@@donnaz1961 Thanks Donna!
Awesome video! Looks easy when you do it 🙂 happy gardening 🍀
Thanks so much! It really is that easy! Just gotta prep the bed and you're golden!
It was scorching hot in Cali this summer. But my lettuce grew very well underneath my squash plant. Just planted a new batch last weekend!
Planting in the understory is brilliant...works for Basil and Cilantro as well! :-)
Very helpful! TY!
Cheers Paul, thanks for watching!
Many thanks to you.. 🍀🌸
Cheers Radwan, thanks for watching!
Once again, awesome site!👍👍 thanks brother!
Thanks buddy, mucho appreciated!
Thank you for this video
Cheers, thanks so much for watching!
I think you said merciless mix. Thank you
Oh man, what a brilliant marketing name! MERCILESS MESCLUN MIX!!!
Really helpful video
Hey thanks, hopefully more people give no-dig gardening a try!
Let-tuce eat! 😂
Heh heh....!
That was interesting. Other gardening videos I've watched show that lettuce seeds shouldn't be covered because the seeds need the sunlight in order to germinate. But, you covered your seeds with soil and mulch. Does that mean either way works?
I've never seen a seed that needed light to sprout. These guys popped up through an inch of top soil and another inch of mulch.... I'd say they don't need light! :)
What type of mulch is that?
