Bill, Thanks for the information. I am a teacher and after school starts, I am a "Moonlight" farmer too! I am experimenting with Summer Crisp Lettuce this year. I don't have lots, I didn't want to over due it, if it was a failure. I am having really good success with Magenta, Concept, Anuenue, and Cherokee. I am also growing Loma, however the heads are really small. Grows well, but I would like something larger. What varieties of red lettuce are you growing? In the past I have grown Buttercrunch, BlackSeeded Simpson and Saladbowl. The problem this fall is that I am not selling the stuff, really nothing is selling well. I am selling 1/2 pound bags for $3. Not many takers. I thought maybe the bags were too big. So I out it in 1/3 pound bags and charges $1.50-$2.00. Moved alittle, but not much. We are eating salads at every meal! I am taking 15-20 bags a week. It is discouraging, but I know I am working on my methods this fall so I can ramp up production this spring. Do you set out your seedling in a High Tunnel or Greenhouse before planting them or do you just keep them underlights? What type of spacing are you using? Thanks, Jay --- On Sun, 9/20/09, BillOhio <billohio AT gmail.com> wrote:
