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 .. [...] They'll pop up soon, I'd guess. Mine took some couple of weeks, in the middle of winter - i.e. with night temperatures in single figures and daytime temps in the low teens. Maybe not as cold or miserable as Melbourne, but lettuce is a winter / cold weather crop so don't worry. -- Ross McKay, Toronto, NSW Australia "There is more to life than simply increasing its speed." - Gandhi |
