Making Your Own Lettuce Seeds
Hello everyone,
How are you all? Good news from me and my garden which today has successfully harvested very well. The rain that always falls in the morning for 4 days in a row makes me always lazy to wake up. But never mind, I always provide 2 shots of espresso so that my eyes can open.
Experience for 6 years as an expert in the field of hydroponics makes me understand the process. This process makes me very happy to live in this field, especially learning with many things, including vegetable seeds. I have many types of seeds, there are also some that I try to make vegetable seeds that I let continue to grow until they finally flower and produce seeds.
There is one seed that I like, but it is currently very difficult to get the seeds. The lettuce has a fairly large stem, so it has a good weight to sell. The leaves are so blooming and expanding, I have discussed that before. But now the seeds are discontinued. So I am using other seeds at this time. because the discontinuation occurred, I just made new seeds from the previous plant. This is still a process, it has not been said to be successful because the flowers from this lettuce have not yet appeared.
Currently I am growing lettuce from other seeds, I have never used it before but, I also like this seed even though I don't get a big weight. The characteristics of this seed are a little light, even very light because the leaves are very thin, less crunchy textured when bitten. Lettuce should be very crunchy, people like that. For the taste, there is a little hidden bitterness, but it is still good to be used as a salad.
This long process will later become an important lesson and this is the first time I have done it. I don't know why, I am very curious, whether I will get the same seeds with the characteristics of yesterday's lettuce or even get worse. An experience that really makes me very excited and it is very thrilling.
What I like about the previous lettuce, it doesn't taste bitter, it even tastes like romaine and the texture is very crunchy. It has a heavy weight because the leaves are thick and the stems are sturdy. Everyone loves the lettuce in yesterday's batch. But, it was so difficult or maybe even discontinued, it made me very upset.
Unfortunately, I once said that I planted water spinach in this batch but what happened was that everything was washed away by the rain a few days ago which was enough to make the water spinach that I planted fall down. So it had to be harvested early because the place collapsed a little, so this time the water spinach at the age of 3 weeks had to be harvested and I shared it with some friends.
Being a farmer sometimes makes us learn a lot autodidactically, even having to compete with circumstances.
Call me Isdarmady, because I have a full name that is very long, namely Isdarmady Syahputra Ritonga. I am a head of the family who work as Farmers Vegetables Hydroponic and Consultant Hydroponics, sometimes I also sell coffee from various regions in Indonesia.
I have expertise dispensing coffee with a variety of techniques and tools brewing, because I have the desire to make a coffee shop with hydroponics as centerpieces. Help me realize that dream.
Thanks for read, vote, re-blog and support me in Hive. Maybe god will reward the kindness, let’s success together.

Interesting way to grow food. I want to learn more about this. And water spinach is so good. I eat that in Vietnam a lot, and I looked for it in the netherlands, but it's not to be found here.
