Utilizing my slab of Buckboard Bacon
Perfect. I don't want any green stuff near my BLT.
So BLT for you means? :
1. Bacon
2. LOTS of Mayo
3. Tomato
Hey I have made millions growing, teaching growers and selling lettuce through out the years.My research on lettuce growing has adorned the walls of USDA in Cali.I`m responsible for re-introducing an heirloom cultivar of poka-doted head lettuce that is still quite popular today.When I first introduced it back into production some of the Rests. rejected it as people could`nt make heads or tails of a leaf of lettuce with a pale green background and red blotches.It goes by different names these days in seed catalogs as I did this in the 80`s.Long story short...I love me my LETTUCE.Perfect. I don't want any green stuff near my BLT.
Me Too! Gotta have my greens! Imported some collard seeds here to France, now to try and propagate them next season. Any tips?Hey I have made millions growing, teaching growers and selling lettuce through out the years.My research on lettuce growing has adorned the walls of USDA in Cali.I`m responsible for re-introducing an heirloom cultivar of poka-doted head lettuce that is still quite popular today.When I first introduced it back into production some of the Rests. rejected it as people could`nt make heads or tails of a leaf of lettuce with a pale green background and red blotches.It goes by different names these days in seed catalogs as I did this in the 80`s.Long story short...I love me my LETTUCE.
Jed see if you can find some well drained yet moisture holding potting soil.(I know it sounds contradictory just roll with me)Collards need nitrogen from beginning to end.A well composted organic mix, peat moss and pearlite(the little white balls that absorb and retract water) is what you are looking for.No wood chips(Pine bark or otherwise as they are nitrogen starving in your mix or ground soil).Place the the seeds in plastic cups or direct in ground 1/4-1/2 deep starting at 55-85 degrees F. at 8 inches minimum spacing apart.Full eastern exposure is best with rows running(but not nessessery) north to south.Anything in the Brassica family(kale, broccoli, cabbage ect.) likes food and water.Me Too!
