It’s interesting and frustrating at the same time – but such is the rich tapestry of salad growing, a fine art, very fine art i would say, and always something to learn, as has been said before
I have resown the lettuces worst affected as a backup, although they are growing, albeit slowly, they aren’t dead, so i view that as a big positive!
I have just pricked out some endive two days ago , smaller this time, and into the same compost and today in the sun they seem fine and are starting their first leaves so all seems ok there
I think a new strategy of mine will be an extra backup sowing one week after the main lettuce sowings, just in case, challenges have a good side effect of making you learn new tricks and become a better grower – I find that a comforting thought
Are you not watering or watering less your compost before pricking out Charles?
