Re: Nesa: Lettuce

Nesa, you can transplant lettuce or you can grow in a large container with supplimental feeding (as the container drains so does some of the nutrients).  A variety of loose leas lettuces growing in a hanging basket is just beautiful!  But you can container grow most things.  This winter I did brocoli in five gallon plastic buckets as well as radishes, peas, rapini, sorrel and cress. I was giving my beds a rest but did not want to be without fresh homegrown veggies :).  In the summer I do cherry and pear toms in black plastic half barrels against the protected south wall of the house ... they have a bit more of 'tang'  than if grown inland with heat and sun (we are foggy seaside).

Subject: Slo-bolt Lettuce

Thanks Sheila. I have successfully grown Peas and Radish by shading them and I think I will grow my lettuce under my Papaya trees.I do have some seeds, dont know if they are teh slow-bolt type but I will give it a go. Am thinking of starting them in containers first.Is that a good idea?
