learning the hard way
(Jay) wrote in message ...
This year was my first attempt at vegetable gardening and I have
learned some lessons the hard way.
5. Cilantro, yes. Lettuce, no. Home grown cilantro is great here. I
think it is too hot for the lettuce. It was bitter, so I yanked it.
If I lived in Texas, I would start planting lettuce in september and I
would continue planting it until march. Temps in the 60s are ideal for
lettuce growth. Many greens that I grow would make it through your
winter without cover.
Also, put down those newpapers a few years in a row, and you will see
that bermuda grass will be strongly reduced. And yes, I grow
everything from seed except some greens. It is not so difficult, in
time you become more efficient, and seedlings are just what you need
if you have to plant through newspapers.
