Paul I thought I would let you know that I had major problems last year in lettuce Red Grenoble and I was advised by Don Foley to try sowing the seed on the surface of the compost. To cut a long story short Charles also advised to try and save my own seed which I did last summer. This week I have sown a small batch of seeds using B & Q Verve multi purpose compost, which I have used with success for several years, and low and behold after 3 days the seeds have germinated. This I may add was using a 7 tray heated propagator. That proves certainly with lettuce seed you don’t have to cover the seed for success.
