š„¬ You Asked for Iceberg⦠So Iām Growing It! | Greenhouse Update (Patreon)

Apparently my farmers market customers have spoken⦠they want iceberg lettuce! š„¬š
I've had so many new customers coming back week after week, and one request keeps popping upāiceberg. So I pulled out a trial packet I had from Johnny's Seeds and decided it's time to give it another shot.
These little plants are about two weeks old and maybe just a tiny bit leggy š, but I'm getting them into the hydroponic channels and giving them a chance. If everything goes according to plan, in another four or five weeks I should have some beautiful heads ready for the farmers market.
I also show you one of my little tricks for getting seedlings out of the tray without tearing up the leaves when I'm growing in Oasis cubes.
And there's actually a funny reason I stopped growing iceberg a few years agoā¦
It grew beautifullyābut the heads stayed gorgeous and green inside, and nobody believed me when I told them it was iceberg! š I couldn't sell the darn stuff.
Maybe this time they'll believe me.
And after working in that greenhouse heat all day, sometimes there's only one thing left to do⦠find those big fans and enjoy a little cool-down. ššØ
Happy growing, everyone! ā¤ļøš±
šæ Coming next: I'll be back Behind the Greenhouse Door Thursday at 6 PM with another little piece of farm life that doesn't always make it onto YouTube. See you then. ā¤ļø
