Lettuce Sprouting
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010Earthbox Lettuce Planted
Sunday, October 17th, 2010Redid EB1 (Earthbox One) with all fresh potting mix, 1lb dolomite, 3c organice fertilizer (2c GardenTone, then ran out and used 1c other organic I had). Planted 6 Black Seeded Simpsons, 2 Lollo Rossas.
Earthbox Peppers Planted
Saturday, March 27th, 2010Harvested the last of the Earthbox lettuce and replaced it with peppers. Will be the first try with peppers in an Earthbox. Here’s the setup:
The lettuce was a success. I found the Black Seeded Simpson to be the best producer. The Lollo Rossa was good, but produced much less than the others. The Salad Bowl was a good producer, but the leaf form is not as full as Black Seeded Simpson. Next go round I’ll probably plant mostly Black Seeded Simpson with a couple of Lollo Rossa for variety. Love the color of the Lollo Rossa.
Earthbox Lettuce Day 43
Sunday, December 6th, 2009Lettuce has reached the point of harvest. Have yet to clip any leaves and try it, but should be doing so soon. I have heard you can clip leaves here and there and it will “keep going”. I have never grown lettuce before so not sure.
Lettuce was directly-seeded into the Earthbox on 10/17; this picture was taken on 11/29, so day 43 after sowing the seeds. Varieties are Black Seeded Simpson, Lollo Rossa and Salad Bowl.
