Three weeks ago I planted a leaf lettuce mix from Johnny's Seeds in one of our greenhouse beds. Here is a photo timeline to bring you up to speed on its progress. We are hoping to eat it in two to three weeks. YUM!
One week after seeds were planted:
Two weeks after seeds were planted, it is getting a little taller and a lot fuller. I photographed my finger to give you a sense of scale.
Three weeks after planting the leaves of lettuce are really starting to fill in.
Lettuce seeds for leafy lettuce have to be planted very shallow in the soil because they are so small and the seedlings so delicate. I may have covered these over a little too much in places, hence the gaps in the rows. The next crop will be perfect with everything i'm learning from this one!Look for fresh, patio-grown lettuce in your salad bar soon.
Grow on,
Your Lettuce Lover
