Hotcatz and Lucy, thanks for the advice! Hotcatz, where are you located that you talk about a "hot and dry location" to plant in!!!! It's COLD up here in Mountain View lately! Good reminder about the solstice. And Manoa lettuce....I'll try that. The black seeded Simpson was a favorite of mine, always reliable, but you're right - it just melted. Maybe the Manoa will do better here...like I said, the tatsoi and mizuna greens are doing alright, so maybe I just have to continue to try new things. Thanks for the info about the websites, too... I think a small greenhouse will be in our future, for sure.
Carrots....what kinds are doing well for you, and are they planted out in the open? I am trying some of the baby carrots (small kine) in a pot to see if they'll survive. I can't imagine the seedlings would have ever survived the recent rains out in the open, but would like to know what works out in the open.
Thanks again. I needed to hear some "green" talk from some folks who've had success. I feel encouraged now to keep trying.
