COS ICE GEM LEttuce

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and new to the whole gardening role, so forgive me if i ask daft questions.

I am currently growing cos lettuce and i have sowed around 13 seeds of which they have all sprouted. They currently stand around 1cm high, so the question is, what height do i move them to there final location, or do i need to stagger the pots they goto before there final pot i.e seed tray - 8cm pot then 3 to a 15 litre pot(This is my intention)

Also another question if i may. I sowed another tray of lettece, but all of the seeds seemed to of sprouted, but they seem really really small in comparison.Have i overwatered?

Hope this all makes sense

Steve

 

thanks for the reply, yes thats what i thought originally but wasnt sure. The soil is very soggy, so i will pull the majority of the seedlings out.

Whilst we are on topic, I will follow your advice about waiting until they are 2-3inches tall, then i will put them in a 15l bucket. How many lettece to a 15l pot should i do?

Thanks

Steve

 

They dont like being moved, mine took ages to grow after being moved but the ones that i left grew really quickly. Leave the plants untill four proper size leaves have formed and they will do better. When you move them expect them to wilt over for about a week or so. Keep them netted too or the birds will get them, pigeons especially.
