First lettuce planting
Forty four lineal feet of lettuce is planted in our tunnel green house. The green house soil is bone dry so we use soaker hoses under burlap to give it a good soak before planting.
Our drip irrigation system isn’t on yet so we will use the soaker hose daily for about 10 minutes to keep the soil moist. Soil temperature is 60 degrees mid-afternoon. Row cover will help keep the beds warm at night.
We prefer a lettuce mix from Gathering Together Farm in Philomath, Oregon. See the picture of mature lettuce.
