Ooh, only 90p then!    My son used to work for Tesco - 'nuff said.

Growing lettuce from seed is definitely the cheaper option.... hundreds and hundreds of plants from one pack of mixed lettuce seeds.

The trick seems to be to keep the seed tray cool and perhaps in the shade or get them germinated before it hots up.

I got 2000 seeds for 99p thats a fair amount and germination rate has been 100% so far. I keep my trays in the shade and then plant under net tunnels all good so far.

I've done this for the last two years with Lidl baby leaf living salad for 99p. First lot were split up into about 16 bits and went in the greenhouse and is still going strong. Second lot was planted outside about three weeks ago straight from the shop and is looking very healthy. I usually forget to sow stuff, so this is a really useful way of catching up

Me too this year.... lack of time called for other methods. After all I had to go shopping so a quick fix helped out... and filled a hole.
