Just been weeding my brasica bed and to my surprise found loads of lettuce seedlings (mainly red salad bowl but others too) I´m chuffed cos I was going to sow some this weekend! saved me a job! On the other hand my nice tidy uniform bed will be messed up! Would you move the lettuce seedlings into a bed of their own or just thin and leave them among the brassicas?
I`ll post some pics later.............
Here are the pics

Can you do both? I'd imagine that transplanted lettuce would get a shock and come a little later, so you'd get succession too ::)
I've had RSB come up in my beds before, but not quite this early in the year!
;D
Saddad, did you move it, or let it stay?
Both like SS suggested, they transplant easily enough at that size and make good underplanting as they are fairly flat and spreading...
;D
