Post by: Tohellwithweeds on April 10, 2008, 07:39:32
i planted some iceberg lettuce seeds on the 8Th of march in my unheated greenhouse and they have all come up and are now about 8 inches tall Ive re potted some but what i wanted to know was would it be OK to plant the ones that are still in the seed tray (i ran out of pots) in to the ground if i covered them with a cloche all advise welcome

I would harden them off before you plant them out if they have been in the greenhouse. You can sow lettuce outside now so I dont think it would be a problem :)

I nearly said the same. Too drawn up. Doubt that they will heart up from there. I would sow more soon!

well i planted them out and i will just have to see what happens with them if they do form hearts i will let you all know if not well i will just quietly feed them to the hens and resow and learn my lesson that i should of waited a bit longer before i planted them so as they say watch this space...........
