Mixed Lettuce April

Here is an unusual vessel to grow lettuce in, it shows you that with a bit of imagination anything goes, these should be ready to harvest in about 3 weeks. You pick the leaves and they re-grow.

Lettuce, Beetroot, in April

The lettuce below I planted the seeds 1 to 3 in each space and thinned them out to just 1 the strongest, they are coming on really well now.

Beetroot below..

Beetroot I'm hoping to grow in this large tray, I've thinned them out to 2inches apart and will harvest them as babies.
