Lettuce anyone?


This is is how the lettuce story goes, I started the lettuces from seeds. But because the seeds were so tiny and lightweight I probably lost 70% of them due to rain and wind. Although they were meant to be mixed salad leaves, I'm guessing only the ones from heavier seeds remained which turned out to be only one variety. There were also two rows of them but as soon as I lifted the cloche, the row on the outside dissappeared overnight... slug attack! At least they did serve some purpose and protected the inner row which is now about big enough to be picked as baby salad leaves.
