I live in a hot climate like you. Are you able to grow the baby salad greens all year? I can grow head or cut and come again lettuce through the beginning of June but have never thought of reseeding around then to keep that harvest going since heads taste so bitter by then. Any advice to keep salad harvest going through the heat? Particularly outside. I grow some inside but just for personal use because with the electricity it ends up being a pricy salad. Thanks for your help. I would love to see more videos of harvest day and market day prep. I have a big home garden and would like to scale up over time so this year I have a few friends subscribing for veggie shares. I was amazed at how long it took me to get two shares all collected, cleaned and dried this Sunday! And in a few weeks Ill have three more! I think an outdoor washing station would be a big help. I was also washing some dirt off a very savoy variety of spinach and I wonder if learning how to grow a less reliable but smoother type would be worth the saved time in cleaning. Thanks for the video!

I am new to greens farming. We are a strawberry farm but I am getting bored so we expanded. My lettuce keeps wilting when I try using the fans. Am I letting it get too dry? Same with the herbs and radishes (we keep the tops. What am I doing wrong! Does there need to still be =some= moisture? I am puzzled.

Would that setup meet food safety regulations? I am just starting and setting up my post harvest station. I thought everything greens come in contact with needs to be food grade, including drying screen. Do I worry to much?

That a great tool if you're young with a strong back! I don't think my back could take cutting those greens that way. I wish there was a better tool that don't require so much bending to harvest.

Are you sure Steven's last name isn't MacGyver? Did he come up with that set-up? It's so clever! I chuckled at the washing machine haha

I'd be thinking about the quality of the leaves once they go in the bag. Don't they get torn / folded, which shortens their lifespan?
