Default Separating vegie seedlings

Hi
I have decided this year to grow my vegies from seedlings but I am a bit
unsure of the process and when to separate the seedlings.
I have carrots and lettuce growing, as well when should I commence my potato
stack?
Thanks
Sandra

Default Separating vegie seedlings

Grow them in punnets, three seeds in one of those 6/8 compartment ones.
Keep moist especially on dry days, Oh, here is a site for you...

Sandra if you bought seedlings they would basically be ready to plant.
Spruke up the soil and plant them. Don't forget snail pellets with the wet
weather they will disappear quick smart otherwise.

I just planted about 10 punnets with greens. Lettuce, mustard, beets,
Silverbeet, cress, turnips and kale. The plan is when they have 2 or 3
leaves to pot up with fertilser in the mix. I don't plan to grow them to a
huge size just clip off the leaves when wanting a salad. Did some searching
but couldn't find how to do the baby salad leaves so this is my first
attempt. I have placed these in trays with the clear plastic tops to make a
greenhouse. Will just plant up more if it works out or change the method if
it doesn't.

Carrots just plant in the ground they resent being transplanted. I grew
some last year in soil I spruked up with chicken manure. Contrary to a lot
of beliefs not many forked and growing through winter made them so sweet.
Western Red and Manchester Table are the best.

I have given up on planting spuds in WA as the seed potatoes they sell are
hopeless. Who wants to plant something that is already exhausted by the time
you buy them. Unless you can get them when the still have some firmness
about them and no long sprouts. The varieties they offer aren't much chop
either. Nadines are so awful, desire is prolific but not a great spud,
delaware are good but your lucky to find them and royal blue the best spud
available in shops here you won't find as a seed potato. They grow sebago in
WA but they don't hit the shops and you'll never see a seed potato on offer.

Sprouting some wheat berries to make wheatgrass which i'll make into juice.
Hopefully the health properties being espoused will happen.
