In this video I show my Cos Lettuce starts. The ones that got more sun are much larger. A more even distribution to get the light is needed. All these starts came from one baby cos lettuce that I had given to me at a local market. I let it bolt to go to flower (which the bees loved). You can see in the video all the stalks that I’ve already harvested seeds from and I’ve only got a couple more flower heads left that I haven’t harvested that have seeds about to form. Once they seed heads dry out – they can then be picked (I use small scissors) and separated and stored in a cool dry space for when you want to plant them in the future. Don’t forget to label your saved seeds.
Aaron has slowly grown into gardening (pun intended) after he turned 30 years old in the pursuit to become more sustainable and began the simple act of making compost from the household daily food scraps. Having been raised in suburbia and only having known a city urban environment, there has been a big learning curve in all areas of plants and gardening. Aaron now writes about his passion for gardening in all forms for this website and others and is truly a Plant Carer.
