Super easy. I plant a row, drizzling the seed along the row-not spacing it out at all. it comes in quite thick-eat the thinnings or don't thin at all until you cut it with scissors about 1" off the ground. <br /><br />other advice: are you sure you don't possibly have slugs? could be they are sneaking in and destroying your starts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640587620780782198.post-23450135450293888282010-06-07T08:08:53.199-07:002010-06-07T08:08:53.199-07:00Lettuce IS surprisingly difficult.

This year I plugged a six pack of lettuce starts into the ground and had a lot more success. You have to keep an eye on it because when it's ready, it's ready. If you wait too long, it's too late. Better to cut it too early. I'm trying to do more in ground gardening with my veggies this year and am already noticing improvements.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793561148143943591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640587620780782198.post-3975883121073007802010-06-06T18:57:36.448-07:002010-06-06T18:57:36.448-07:00When I grow lettuce in containers, I just broadcas...When I grow lettuce in containers, I just broadcast the seeds and then continually thin it as it grows. I don't have a lot of luck trying to plant lettuce plants.<br /><br />Good luck!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018172805489963981noreply@blogger.com
