I have two plants started in the hydroponics, but only need the best of the two.

A few more things started in the hydroponics:

That looks very good. I would like to grow that Red color lettuce but I don't know the name. Probably too late to grow it this year.pepperhead212 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 8:27 pmI still have a lot of greens out there, as well as inside! The cabbage is largest because the others were attacked by some varmints, shortly after planting the seedlings in early September, and they all had to grow back! (From now on, they will all be covered!) I wasn't even sure they would do it, but almost all of them did. I've actually harvested a generous number of leaves of the two komatsuna and the misome. One of the komatsuna is Summer Fest, the most heat resistant I have found, and the other is Pinetree Gardens generic komatsuna, so I figured I'd compare them for cold resistance, and compare them to the hybrids, as well.

Back to eating these greens, to make up for the last few days!![]()
My Romain lettuce is like eating sheets of very dry green paper. I was dissapointed several times now I don't even want to eat this lettuce but maybe I should test it again.imafan26 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:58 pmI can can only grow lettuce in the cooler months. It bolts too fast in summer and it is bitter. The other good thing about winter lettuce is that it can last a little longer before it gets bitter. Right now, my best heat resistant lettuce is Salad Bowl. I like it better than the local favorite Manoa lettuce (green mignonette). I tried black seeded simpson and it was not my favorite lettuce either. I can grow some romaine now while the temperatures are still below 80 degrees for most days. I am bad at harvesting, so even if I manage to only grow a few heads of lettuce, I still end up giving a lot of it to the worms. How does the red merlot taste?
