I sowed 2 batches of lettuces, endives and kales on 17th and 18th June (still cant believe I sowed on the 17th – a FLOWER day! was completely stressed out and distracted by my parents visit!). The seedlings are about half an inch tall now, hopefully I will be able to plant them out in a 1-2 weeks´s time. They are all sitting under mesh now in their trays under the sun as I have noticed even the endive seedlings having some minute holes, Discovered a couple of really tiny caterpillers!
