I got really narked off last month with the slugs eating all the lettuces that i had grown from seed directly in the beds. Really disheartening. So i poured about 50 seeds into a ceramic pot and waited. They grew…like mad. They got to the size where it was time to harvest them as baby leaves, which i did with some. The rest got planted out throughout the garden, to minimize the chance of them being munched.
I’ve just checked them, and most have settled nicely into the soil. The ones that looked like they were wilting, went into the salad bowl. The picture at the top is the lettuces all lined up on the side of the bed, ready for planting. I shook the roots into the bed, which covered the whole pile of lettuces with dirt..whoops! We have so many leaves this year, that we are eating them with all our meals, especially as the peas are slowing down…
