Go to Johnnys Seeds web site and clic on the type of vegatable you want to grow then click on the growing information highlight the information copy and past it into a word processing program then move on to the next one and repete the process and soon you will have growing information on all of the vegatables you can grow. here's the one from lettuce. Remember to go alphabeticaly from a to z. www.johnnyseeds.com Growing Information: CULTURE: Lettuce is hardy and can be planted as early as the soil can be worked. It is a cool weather crop and makes its best growth at temperatures of 60-65°F (16-18°C). Careful variety selection is important for hot weather crops. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce. THERMAL DORMANCY: Lettuce can be dormant at high temperatures. For best germination results sow at soil temperatures of 68°F (20°C) or lower. The priming process in pelleted lettuce seeds broadens the temperature range in which the seeds will germinate, overcoming some of a lot's thermal dormancy. TRANSPLANTING: Sow in flats, 4 seeds/in., or in 3/4' plug trays, barely covering seeds with fine vermiculite, 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Shade the flats on sunny, warm days if necessary to keep the soil surface cool, below 75°F (24°C), until germination. If sowing into flats, transplant 1-2' apart into flats, pots, or cell-type containers about 2 weeks later. Harden seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2-3 days before planting outdoors. Properly hardened transplants can survive temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C). Transplant iceberg lettuce 12' apart in rows 18' apart, other types 8-12' x 12-18' apart. DIRECT SEEDING: Seeds germinate even at low, 40°F (4°C), soil temperature, but poorly above 75-85°F (24-29°C) depending on the variety and seed lot. Cover seed lightly, about 1/8', and firm soil gently. Dry soil must be watered to ensure coolness and moisture, and for even germination. Thin young seedlings to one plant per spot. For salad mix: sow in a 2-4' wide band, about 60 seeds/ft. MT0 SEEDS: A variety name followed by MT0-10 indicates that the seeds offered for sale in sizes larger than a packet have been tested for the presence of lettuce mosaic virus and that no LMV was found in a sample of 10,000 seeds or less. MT0-30 indicates that no LMV was found in a sample of 30,000 seeds tested. NOTE: A disease-free test result does not guarantee a seedlot to be disease-free, only that in the sample tested, the pathogen targeted was not found. DAYS TO MATURITY: For full-size heads from direct seeding and growth in mild temperatures; subtract 10-14 days if transplanting. Note: maturity can be 3 or more weeks later in cool weather, and up to 1 week earlier in hot weather. AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: For full-size heads (precision seeded): 5,300'/oz., 220'/1,000 seeds, 5.5 oz./acre at 3 seeds every 8' in rows 18' apart. For salad mix: 400'/oz., 16'/1,000 seeds, 6,400'/lb. At 60 seeds/ft. TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 20,000 plants/oz. SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.: 20,000-30,000 (avg. 24,000). MINI: 0.5 gm. unless otherwise noted (avg. 400 seeds, sows about 17' at 24 seeds/ft., or makes 250 transplants). PACKET: 1 gm. unless otherwise noted (avg. 800 seeds, sows 34' or makes about 480 plants).

Yes, Bunny, it is clematis. The reason is youcan plant the tiniest roots. First year no show second year no show and then the third year Bam all the color, flowers and show just for being patient. The plant needs time to set roots so that it can grow stronger and provide a better top show. Which the top likes to shine yet the roots need to be shaded and hide in the background, so while the top growth is getting all the praise, it's really the roots who are the powerhouse. ok one more for me.. I will be up forever a night making these. here's an easy one.. If you have already won please let someone else have a chance. My parents have been married for many years, and they were blessed with how many children?

What a great thread.. glad I got around to reading it. My normal salad at home-- the one I always have ingredients for is a mix of lettuces/spinach, carrots, cucumbers, onions, dried cranberries and pistachios. I add parmesan if using a vinaigrette.. skip it if using a creamy dressing. A favorite I've been craving is red leaf lettuce, butter (or any other delicate lettuces), blanched asparagus, red onion and orange segments in a citrus vinaigrette. I've added grilled shrimp and chicken to it.. but most often I like it as is. I had a life changing salad at a restaurant once-- I keep meaning to try it at home but havent as yet. Mix of lettuces, grilled chicken, blanched green beans, carrots, cucumbers, onions, macadamia nuts with a spicy thai dressing. Speaking of thai dressing-- the Thai Chicken salad at panera is my favorite "pick up a salad" treat. I don't remember what all is in it but I know there's carrots, cucumbers, roasted edamame, peanut sauce and a spicy dressing. I make a southwestern-ish salad with chopped lettuce, black beans, garbanzo beans, brown rice, onions, cucumbers, cilantro and lime vinaigrette. Love apples in my salads.. and also in my tuna salad. I'll try any concoction but I never use egg, blue cheese, feta cheese or olives.

KK - there is a greenhouse hydroponics grower in Alaska that has grown both. He is currently growing Sudduth because they produce well for him and he claims there is a better local market for Sudduth. I like Sudduth and plan to continue growing the strain. I find them very similar in taste, earliness, shelf life and ease of growing. I do not grow hydroponically but Brandy Boy has a much better yield for us (maybe 1/3 better yield). The Alaska hydroponics grower claims they are similar in yield. I really suggest you grow them both to see which one does better for you in your climate!!
