Hello! Great video! Looks to me like I'll have to try some new plants! This year for the first time, I've tried lettuce and spinach, and its been a struggle. Not sure if its due to too much heat/lack of water/too much water. I'm thinking in my area, direct seeding into the ground may be a better option. I live in Manitoba, Canada, where currently, it's regularly at least 25 degrees celsius (77 Fahrenheit). Also, I'm not sure if I can get the varieties you mentioned, but note to self : look for heat tolerant varieties! If you ever wonder, yes, people are listening and learning so much from you! Have a wonderful day. Look forward to more videos/Instagram posts

Great informative video, thanks. My Red Russian Kale and Rainbow Chard that I grew from seeds have been in the garden since late March - first time to grow them. They are super beautiful plants. I find that they are "tough" plants to eat - I have been mostly chopping them into stir fries and soups because of the toughness - I do not do smoothies. Am I missing other ways to use them in the diet? Could the toughness of the leaves be because of the heat? We have had 104 degree heat index for several weeks with temps in the high 90s with NO rain (I have been watering to keep alive). Any suggestions? Love your videos - I always learn so much.

You know Mother Nature, I tell you what, you would think because it is so hot and all I care to eat is something cold, that we could grow some greens for summer. I'm new to planting edibles, and finding out in HOT weather not many greens thrive. Am I wrong? Thank you in advance, much appreciated! ;)
@CaliKim29

They take 100 degree heat here without a problem, as does the chard. They get a little wilty in the afternoon but keep on pumping. The great thing is, if the leaves get brown, or if they do start to bolt, as I showed in the video, just cut them down and they will re-grow again and again and again. I have some that have been growing with multiple prunings for several years. These greens are THE greens to grow for heat, can't go wrong with kale and chard especially! Check out my seed collection (calikimgardenandhome.com/seeds/) if you need some! :) Thanks for watching!

Hi Christine - yes, the drip line you see in this video has the emitters built in to it, super quick to install in a large or small container. It comes in a kit, amzn.to/2iLOYwv, or you can purchase it separately, amzn.to/2vYNQ3C. Here is a video on how I installed it in this container, bit.ly/calikimcontainerdripirrigation. How is your lettuce in your smart pots container doing? I think I saw a comment where you said it was bitter? Make sure it gets morning sun and afternoon shade - this will help keep tasty and sweet and slow the bolting. The heat tolerant seed collection will be perfect to grow greens in the hot weather, though, so you can keep eating those wonderful salads all summer. Thanks for watching!
