| | | Let your garden bloom! Find lettuce seeds and more here! | myLot Discussions on lettuce seeds| A Newbie! | | Well after 5 failed attempts to add a photo I will try this one last time to upload it here. If not I'll send it without the photo and try to add it in a comment. Anyhow, I am trying seed tapes for the first time this year. I have carrots and leaf lettuce tapes. The seeds are so tiny and they never get spaced quite right the regular way so we are trying the tapes this year. There's almost 400 lettuce seeds and 570 carrot seeds. So I'll have plenty. Ever use the seed tapes? Anything you wish to relate about the ease or pitfalls etc here? Please do share your experiences here. P.S. finally it worked. Unreal!!!
As always.....

| | Anyone growing vegetables over winter? | | I've finally got a plot to grow vegetables in from the adopt a garden scheme they are running locally. It's a bit late in the season but I got a packet of winter lettuce with a gardening magazine I buy and am starting some spinach. The lettuce seeds are coming up (you can see three in the back row) but the spinach seeds haven't done anything yet, it's only been a 2 days though so something is bound to happen soon. More of the lettuce ha come up since I took the picture but still no spinach.
Are there any other vegetables people can recommend? (I live in the UK so it gets very cold). I know you can grow brussel sprouts and some types of onion in the winter, I have no green house so it has to be things I could just protect with fleece when frost is predicted. | |
| | Tomatoes and Lettuce | | Two of my favorite fresh garden vegetables are lettuce and tomatoes. I haven't had a garden since I moved into this house in 2003. This year, my neighbor gave me two tomato plants. I've been fertilizing them and they are planted out in my front yard in a tire where they are exposed to plenty of sun. They are flowering like crazy. Today I tied them as they are getting tall and heavy. Then I thought...hmmm...why not? I bought myself a packet of lettuce seeds (Grandrapids variety) and planted them right in the soil around the bottoms of the tomato plants. Gardening in the suburbs... for gardening junkies who gotta have it. LOL. | |
