Sowing Lettuce Seeds In Trays



Dad and I went to the allotments today and we sowed lettuce seeds in seed trays, there are 150 cells in each tray, we planted 6 different varieties, one per tray. There will be around 900 lettuce plants. They are for our community farm. Here are some pictures of the different varieties:

Suzan Butter Head Lettuce
Merveille Des Quatre Saisons (Marvel of Four Seasons) Butter Head Lettuce

Lollo Rossa Loose Leaf Lettuce

Little Gem Cos Lettuce

May Queen Butter Head Lettuce

We sowed another variety called Till Loose Leaf but we could not find an image of it. It is like a dense rosette with arrow head shaped leaves.
