Title: Winter Density Lettuce

Just so glad I planted them out last week as really healthy seedings now with a heatwave due this week - they'll be bolting before soon ::)  :(!

Have you got the heat wave yet? We haven't. If they are in modules but them on the North side of a wall/fence to keep them cool.  :)

I planted them out at the plot Saddad, most are under the shade of the Tuscany kale but a few are on the South side.

Yes, it's been lovely and warm down in Sussex once the sun has been up for an hour or two, tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be bikini weather days, not for me though  ;D

If life at the plot were all a bed of roses, we'd soon get bored 1066  ;D - we'll never win with nature we just take our chances with it!

At least we still have the chance to sow some more and, hopefully, get them to germinate with this weather  8)
