Hello everyone, hello friends, I’m going to talk to you about winter lettuce in this video, so the advantage of winter lettuce is that we can eat lettuce in the month of March when we don’t have a greenhouse when we grow outdoors and in general we don’t have much in

The way of lettuce unless we have winter lettuce so I sowed these lettuces on September 15 and we see that they are in very good condition on February 15 when I shot these images [Music] in my pots here in the fall I made some lettuce to cut so there is

Vulcan the curly one and watercress from Morocco the one which is very green I made this with garlic so and we consume it regularly from December to January and still it is not too damaged for the moment so it is not specific winter varieties this which means that sometimes

It’s less successful for me, I’ve been doing it for 2 years here in an oceanic climate in the Nantes region, it works quite well, it helps complement other salads but it’s not typically winter varieties very little maintenance on this salad and it’s very practical we

Have them at hand so there are also the lamb’s lettuce there I have made several generations of lamb’s lettuce in the pots this year I am reaching the 3rd generation there we see the second one which is almost ready to

Harvest, so it also allows you to have a little bit of chew and it reseeds itself also I also have some for example in my apricot tree finally in the pot where I have a small apricot tree which sown itself and then I put a little bit like that

To the right and left so the lamb’s lettuce must be done several successive sowings now when we arrive at the end of February they will start if there in mild periods they will start to rise and so very quickly the chews when they rise well that’s what it’s very fast

It stops suddenly [Music] so there a little spot of chard that I had made in August between the tomato plants well my crops autumn winter they were rather failed but there it worked well it will come in spring it will grow back and then next to it we see spots of arugula so

There the arugula perfect it was because sometimes it goes up before winter, that wasn’t the case, it was really in the right timing and then this plant with very thin leaves is perpetual arugula, I installed a foot at the ‘autumn so we’ll see what

It turns out and that makes additional salads which we add to that we make little mixtures and that allows us to have a little bit of greenery throughout the winter [Music] we see here my Pain de Sucre chicory which is part of the winter plank which I

Largely missed this year. Well, the Pain de Sucre chicory is still fine but they are very late, normally the Pain de Sucre chicory at home is good to eat at the end of the year in January in February what’s a good job these are chicories which tolerate the cold quite well and

Therefore we can have them in the heart of winter and it’s still something that is quite important for me because it gives greenery like that in the middle of winter but there they have fallen a lot behind and they are still very small we still started

To eat them but they are still very small they are small but healthy they are not attacked by the slugs this year I had years where I had in a Pain de Sucre chicory even if they were bigger sometimes I found around thirty

Slugs to say it was really the slug hotel there this year not problem on the slug side, eh besides when I take one well I leave a few outer leaves precisely to feed them in case there are any and we have a little difficulty finding them

But we find them when even one here so I leave this slug as long as I am not at all invaded it will be for the slug predators and then well it will eat the remains of chicory leaves so these Pain de Sucre chicories they are

There to make the connection a little bit with the winter lettuces which come in March [Music] the winter crops that I missed well here they are the cabbages I wanted to do a little experiment with phacelia in intermediate crop but well at home in the fall

Very quickly the shade arrives on these parts of the vegetable garden so in addition the cabbages were eaten the first time I sowed a little later and they did not arrive in time to have enough time in advance to get through the winter so in terms of

Cabbages completely missed luckily we had the Daubenton cabbage left otherwise we wouldn’t have had any cabbages this winter well after that it wouldn’t have either been a drama [Music] so we come back to the winter lettuces I made them here on

The old board where there were the sweet potatoes, parsnips and endives and then I extended the vegetable garden a little on the lawn on the right part last year and therefore the lettuces come a little overflowing on this part where in summer there were yacons and

Zucchini so lettuces without problem there is no difference between the two boards and then I put small tunnels as you can also see to protect them anyway so well I don’t have a lot of light on this part yet but it helps a little these lettuces were

Sown later than my sugar loaf chicory they were sown in the second half of September and transplanted after the harvests that I made on this bed so no tillage of the soil so just put back on the ground what remained as plant waste I added a

Little bit of dead leaves and then we see that there are a little bit of weeds or companion plants it depends on what you want to call them there are dead nettles there are speedwells but hey they are not plants which are really very annoying and me I even prefer that there be

A little bit because that way it allows you to tear off a little bit from time to time if they really bother the lettuces and that way it also makes a little food for the slugs because those small lettuces it’s the same they are absolutely not they are absolutely not

Attacked by slugs I only really intervene if there are too many weeds but in general it goes well I had to intervene like that to remove a few weeds this winter I find that the lettuces are doing much better when they are surrounded like that by companion plants they

Are less prey to predators and in particular slugs and then we see that I put a few slates there to try to capture when it there are rays of sun passing through the corner I find that these lettuces are very easy to live with for the

Gardener, just remember to sow them in mid-September, take winter varieties of course and then like that we will have salads towards the end of winter and beginning of spring and they will come before those which will be sown at the start of the year which will arrive in

April and if you do not have a greenhouse it is still very appreciable these little salads which allows us to have a continuity of salads throughout the year since we can also have them during the summer until the fall, this video is now finished, I

‘ll see you next time video be well [Music] [Applause] [Music]
