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.

Planting Onions At The Allotments

Today we went to the polytunnel by the allotments and planted onion seeds in small pots. When they are big enough they will be transplanted to the community farm and the allotments. We planted seven different types of onions in fourteen pots. There are between 100 and 150 seeds per pot.
