hello all i just wanted to know if it would be ok to plant my iceberg lettuce seedlings out side if they were protected by a cloche. i planted the seeds on the 8TH of march and they are now about 8 inches tall i have potted some on but i ran out of pots and just wondered if they would be ok in the ground or is it still to early for them all advise welcome and thanks in advance

I'd get them out before they get too weak and leggy. Looked at the forecast for next 5 days in your area - no frosts predicted, but it's going to be cool, so make use of those cloches!

thanks dd i was hoping that would be the answer guess what im doing today

the weather is so unpredictable at the moment its really difficult to say but its certainly worth trying them under cloches it sounds like they are very leggy if they are 8 inches high so i dont know how well they will do

[gobs]

8 inch lettuce :shock:

I don't think I would bother with them. Sow a new lot.
