ok, when picking out lettuce seedling, how much picking out do you do, ie...1 every cm or what? and would it be the same with beetroot? :-\
I usually plant close, take out every other one to eat small and leave the others to get bigger, I also plant up a trough with them very close and use as cut and come again , love lettuce, us ;D
I planted my Beetroot seeds in a 6 x 7" tub in the greenhouse then pricked them out when they were about 4" high and planted them in 2 raised beds about 4" apart,now I have 120 beetroot just waitin to fatten up with no further thinin ;)
Thanks guys :)
