There was much more cloud about on Tuesday and it was a little bit cooler. A shower in the early hours of the morning had dried up overnight and the rest of the day was dry. No sign of the rain forecast at the beginning of the week and it was certainly warmer than expected. August is turning out to be another dry month.
I’m struggling to get winter lettuce to germinate. The last sowings I made were one tray of Little Gem for harvesting in autumn and one tray of Arctic King to see how this fared through winter.
My tray of Little Gem is doing well and it’s just about time to thin them out to leave one seedling per cell. On the other hand my tray of Arctic King couldn’t be more different. Sown at the same time and in the same compost not one single seed has germinated.
I think I'll try sowing another tray of seeds and see if they do any better. If not, perhaps it just a duff packet of seeds.
