I am having a really hard time germinating lettuce. 
My latest attempt was to wet the ground , put out seeds, lightly cover with soil, then put newspaper over it and water the newspaper when I figured it should be watered. This worked really good for onions, radishes, swiss chard. Anybody got any ideas? |

I have done some research and find out that the ideal temperature for germinating lettuce is 50 degrees F. It has been over 80 here lately. When it cools off I may get some baby lettuces!

I germinate spinach and lettuce seeds by using sheets of toilet paper over a light coat of mature compost, while moisturizing the seeds with a light dilute brew of aerated compost tea mixed with seaweed and molasses. Happy Gardening! |
