November... Possibly not the best time to be planting things (my garlic aside...). But these were described as winter lettuces, suitable for unheated greenhouses or cold frames, so I thought I'd give them a go. They're currently in seedling trays on our window ledge, but I'll try some of them outside once they're a bit bigger. I suspect the hole in roof of the greenhouse might mean its a bit chilly for them - I really need to get it repaired!
But at least the lettuces are doing better than the carrots. Again, meant to be planted out in October / November and harvested in spring. Have planted some in the raised bed, some in a pot in the greenhouse, and some on the window ledge - no signs of life yet...
[About the photo - a macro shot (the seedlings are only a couple of cm tall at the moment!) lit by a remote flash off to one side, with a baffle to stop the flash lighting the black background. Not completely happy with it - feels a little dark and the depth of field isn't quite enough. Might re-shoot when they get a bit bigger.]
