This simple solution is available to every gardener.
In spring, summer residents have a lot of work to do on their plots. In the hustle and bustle, there is sometimes not enough time to plant some secondary crops.
First of all, attention is paid to tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, beets, peppers. Sowing greens is usually postponed until the main work is done.
Early summer is the perfect time to do this. For example, leafy salads are popular with summer residents.
But there is one significant problem. In the heat, the lettuce goes into arrow and produces very few leaves. However, there is a little trick that will help to avoid this.
The flowering of greenery depends on the length of daylight. In June, favorable conditions for this occur. But it is worth choosing the right variety, and you can forget about the problem.
First, you need to choose head and semi-headed types of lettuce. For example, these are the well-known "Iceberg" and "Romano". They bolt only due to the lack of regular watering.
Secondly, leafy varieties should be sown less, but more often. Summer residents cut fresh greens after 2 weeks and renew the plantings. This takes a certain amount of time, but in return they get fresh greens for salads all year round.
