Sowing Lettuce seeds

Sheps · April 2023

Thanks @Fairygirl yes...very pleased.

Raised beds will be lined and filled by the weekend in preparation for planting out once it warms up a bit.

Yours sound like they're starting to get a move on, looking forward to seeing them 🙂

Thanks @scroggin...yes indeed, l can feel a cheese and lettuce sandwich coming on in the near future 😋

Fairygirl · April 2023

Enjoy it @Sheps

I might join you in a wee cheese sandwich later in the year

And so you should @Fairygirl cheese and lettuce sandwiches all round, god knows I've enough lettuce plants to feed the forum 😂

@Sheps, sounds great and you also have your spring onions to harvest aswell.

You'll be getting yon rabbit now - or maybe several !
They'd have their eye on the carrots you've sown too...

I think there will be a full salad with the early potatoes and tomatoes too @scroggin

Can't wait for early summer to arrive 😃

I wonder if the Hedgehogs like salad too @Fairygirl think I might need a Hedgehog proof fence around the veg 😮

I don't know @Sheps - they might fancy any slugs hanging around the lettuce though.

Good morning @Fairygirl and @scroggin and everyone else...the lettuce plants have grown to a reasonable size now, so I'm itching to plant them out in the raised bed but, I'm just a little concerned about the nighttime temperatures, long range forecast is showing about 5°c for the next few weeks, so do you think the young plants can stand the low temperatures?

I have some veg frames and fleece that I can use if needed once planted out.

Ta very much 🙂
