This is the first year I did not get any germination from my lettuce and spinach. We had so much rain since March. I normally for the last two years I been planting my seeds for spinach and lettuce in the middle March. Because the gardener on KZfaq said to do this and it worked. But this year it did not work

Wow lettuce needs light? Didn’t know that.. no matter the fruit or veggie I grow I always use a sandwich bag with a damp paper towel and put it on top of my fridge where it’s slightly warmer and it cuts germination down by about half however I have never been able to germinate strawberries or lettuce this way

Any success with lettuce seeds yet? I use the same method as you but yes, strawberry and lettuce do not work. Strawberry germinated after 60 days of being in a wet paper towel. LOL

@@mcuembedded just seen this lol my bad, no I have never been able to get those two to germinate this way but I did learn lettuce doesn’t like summer heat to germinate but they love the heat when they are of age like a month or so old, so be sure to start in the spring or fall or if it’s in the summer start inside with lights and the take them outside where it’s shady all day long no direct light for a few days to get them use to the sun

@@einkmin5603 I tried putting seeds out in indoor light a couple feet from the window for 1-2 days. Then put the seeds on a wet tissue inside a ziplock bag and let it sit. 1/10 seeds germinated - couldn't get a better yield by any other method. I'm starting to think it is a temperature or seed quality issue because the seeds were very inexpensive.

Thank you Jill, I used your coupon code as I am starting my first greenstalk original 5 tier times 2, and plant some lettuce seeds. Also, as I wait for the shipment to arrive i want to get the soil, is each tier a 1.0 cu ft bag, that would be 10 cu ft each bag of primo is around 1.0 cu ft at $14… thank you for your podcast and channel.

It depends on the pro mix you buy; the kind I buy is 2.8 cubic feet per bag, so I buy 2 bags for a 5-tier original planter, and I have some leftover.
