Lettuces are growing well, here! At least for now. From left, two containers of Butter Crunch, left. Red Romaine, and Romaine, middle, and then, right: Romaine Head Lettuce. Our family goes through about 2 or 3 bowls daily, and we do not buy lettuce from stores.

Above Lettuce doesn't actually grow well in high heat, so, I tend to plan for the die off! I just planted (bottom,lighter colored peat soil) Spinach. and another Butter Crunch Lettuce. It will be ready in about 6 weeks, and should be fine, for now, in the heat. the other containers will be picked clean or die off from heat, but then.

below MY THUMB!!!! and also, some Dark Opal Basil, Oregano, and Sweet Basil.

Above Newly planted red Romaine lettuce, Marigold, and two bags of Onion, chives, etc
Below The Peas, almost at their end of cycle. Peas are another Cold Weather crop and the yellowing leaves are a sign they are about to die off in the heat. I am still picking about a bowl daily of Golden Peas, Sugar Daddy Snap, and Oregon Giant Peas.

I've spent some time, so far, with this garden, and am extremely excited. It is so close to truly pushing out many many vegetables. next update, I will snap some photos of the actual fruits and vegetables.

your garden is sincerely amazing
i absolutely LOVE it. its so much green and so much food!!! hehehehehe

i will be very happy if i can one day get my lettuce to grow like that hahahha

Honestly, I know that it is painfully hot, but so many people use those towers for lettuce. Your lettuce needs more sun. It's going to be amazing

but you know what? the sun side of the lettuce died! hahahaha

so i thought it needed less sun! but maybe it just needed more water???
i ordered something for more lettuce to keep trying :)

hoping that helps!

do you have any gardening cloth? for keeping the plants in full sun, but it gives shade!

no - where does one get this magical fabric?!?!?!

seriously?
there's tons in garden centers everywhere

All that for the bunnies when they grow up?
Awwww :)))

Dude amazing garden!

Started indoors in winter, from Seed!

Have you been doing show flow sheets for the garden? I can only imagine your back to work...

yeah, not quite a show flow, but so tempting
its going to be culture shock this fall when I do get back to it!

Be honest... How many plants have you fired?

I've sent some home for being late to load in. mostly sound plants

Well, there goes the cool rock n roll stories on site... All kidding aside, your garden is beautiful! I can only hope to have an abundant food forest just once like that. Im sure moving away from Vegas would be a great start.

And yes I saw all your double entendres...
