Do you get them looking all orderly Connor? 

[Connor]

I grow them from seed in modules normally 6 cells in each and i think they look good will get a pic of a tray of parsley up asap! and then u can see what you think!

[Connor]

Got a photo of my trays, this is were i start them off then if i am going to sell a tray of lettuce i will keep them in it but if i am going to use them myself i will repot them! What you think??

The 2nd photo is the lettuce plants re-potted and i let them grow on for about two weeks them i will plant them out!

They look beautiful Connor. I am presuming that was taken earlier on in the year?


How do you get them spread so thinly in the first pic?


I tried one of those stupid injector thingies this time with no luck.

They were taken about 2 weeks ago and i sow two seeds per cell but atm i have two trays of pansies so hopefully they will grow aswell as the lettuce! What is the injector thing like never heard of them??

I found the green salad leaves are quite tough as well. I tend to pick the middle ones apart from the growing bit.

Interesting i grow green cos and they are a lovely crisp lettuce- great taste! Also if the leaves are tough it could be a sign of them bolting which means they have reached the age were they will start to die and the leaves will be harden or it could just be a hard leaf variety
