Hi all ! :) I have just spent a good hour or so weeding the Onion bed . Am I right in thinking , that I can sow lettuce seeds in between the onions ?
If so ......can I do this now ? Thankyou Rohaise
I think I would start the lettuce up in cells and germinate them in warm conditions then transplant them.
I think the ground will still be a bit cool!
At least this way the soil will have warmed up a bit by the time you are ready for transplanting.
Thanks Teegee, I have six lettuces already started and moved into a cold frame. But I will start off a few more and these I will plant out between my onions when they are ready . I,m quite new to all this . Thanks for your help . :) Rohaise
