I couldn’t wait any longer with planting the lettuce seedlings out, they were getting a bit too big. They were in the seed tray in the open part of the veranda, so fairly hardened.

The soil in the polytunnel was prepared, with plenty of compost and also mushroom compost added. I placed my grow rings there at intervals and the spaces on one side I used to plant the lettuce.

There is some beetroot there, from last year; I tried to grow it to have early beets but better use of the plants are the leaves, they taste delicious added to salads.
