Hi all,

I've recently planted some lettuce seeds in the hopes of them
sprouting into lovely plants ..
Perhaps I'm a little anxious, but the seeds have not yet sprouted and
I'm worried it might be a bit too cold for them at the moment ..
I've been keeping the growing medium moist and have kept them outside
but undercover, away from the rain..

In Melbourne we've been having 10-12 degree days so I'm thinking that
might be the reason I've not seen any lettuce action as yet ..

Can someone suggest whether they'll eventually come up, or I should
just wait for the days to get warmer before trying this again?

Thanks!

They're alive!!

They say that watching paint dry is tedious.
Watching grass grow, apparently worse.

Well, watching these lettuce germinate was high up in the list!!

Anyway, after a painful two weeks of minimal action, I came home from
work the other day, and there are about twenty little sprouts in each
cup that the lettuce are growing in.

I'm thinking perhaps I put too many seeds on each. hehe
We'll see how it goes once they start growing properly.

Anyway, I'm so relieved that they're growing!

In other cups a
Chives
Basil
Oregano
Rocket
Raddish

Pictures coming soon to those interested!
