The second round of lettuce has now germinated. This tray is Romaine lettuce - Parris Island. Lettuce seems fairly easy to grow and germinates quickly compared to some other plants. We started this tray back on Sunday and this evening you can see lots of seeds have germinated. We'll have a few trays of lettuce seedlings to transplant in early April. Two different types of lettuce have been started so far - Buttercrunch and Parris Island (Romaine). We'll start some lettuce by sowing directly in the ground in early April when the soil temperature has warmed. I'm still trying to decide of I want to grow any "red leaf" lettuce. It seems like some folks aren't too sure about lettuce that is not green.
