I’ve been looking at some Lett uses this morning you’ll seen them a few days ago we just multis SEO lettuce seeds into little pots like this let them grow into half decent sized plants then we prick them out and move them on into their own individual areas so then they grow quicker and
These ones looking quite healthy considering not much anything else is doing anything at this time of year so I’ve decided that I’m going to take out some of these move them on into their own cells and see if we can get a start on some onr lettuce you’ve probably noticed that I’ve started
Putting on a few videos that shows you what I do with produce whether it be a make a meal out of it or whether I preserve it for later use which I think is really useful for this channel just
In case you do get a glot of stuff when we get to that point of year you’ll know exactly what to do do with it so you don’t waste anything so that’s why we’ve started popping on a few
Videos just to give people an idea in case you don’t know what to do with them last thing we need to be doing at this point is wasting food so once again I’m going to be using some of that
Recycled compost we amended it quite recently by adding some fertilizer to it so there’s plenty of nutrition in this old stuff and that’ll just keep us going until we get to the point of the Season
Where we start sewing lots and lots of seeds by then we’ll have some fresh bags of compost ready for that job but for the moment we’re sticking to this stuff because there’s no artly we’ve already got the compost we’ve already got the fertilizer and we’ve grown as own little plants so it’s just
A case of moving things on we can get something else underway I’m just going to pop them into these little cells plenty big enough to grow lettuces I’ve grown Lett uses in cells like this before and I’ve just left them and they’ve ended up being about 6 in tall and quite thick
As well there was basically the size of a very small Roma lettuce so you could just chop those off and pop them straight on a salad no need to grow them any bigger if that size suits you so once I move them into here we’ll just see how they get
On where edging ever closer to March now everybody’s looking forward so much to new growing season we get a lot of comments about that it’s just around corner but as I always say at this time of year don’t go mad sewing loads and loads of seeds cuz that weather just
Turns sometimes without much of a warning either just like the other day when we was told we were going to get sleep and we ended up with a couple of inches of snow instead so we’re still doing
The minimum of seed sewing at the moment still enough to keep us going until we actually do get to spring so taking the same size trays I’m just compressing that compost down topping it back off
And then we’ll have a look at these seedlings and see how many there is that we can actually use from that tub before I put these seedlings in I’m going to give this a bit of a water it just helps
When you come to put your seedlings in if that all stay stay where you put it and doesn’t cave in and if you put them into dry compost that’s usually what happens so a nice watering is going to sort
That out we basically need to be just digging out a few at this stage it’s probably better to take a clump you want to make sure we get some of that root and I’m not bothered if we
Put a couple in each cell that’s got plenty of roots on it I want to make quite a big hole in that right to bottom of that cell so then we can get this pushed in as deep as we need to don’t worry about
Those first sleaves either as long as we get that plant in and get it upright like that it’s on its way that easy we’ve got one done I’m not bothered how many we get out of here as long as we get some just going to preate those hes as
Well I think six would be enough we’ll just keep digging in and see what we get I’ll just take that out as one Bunch again we could just set separate them off into single lettuces but I’m not too bothered about
Doing that because I’d rather do the cut and come again rather than waiting for a Heen lettuce that’s a nice Clump and we’ve got a bit of red and a bit of green there as well so that can all go straight in I’ll take that little one away that’s not going to do
Anything just need to feed that root in while keeping these clumped together like that it don’t matter how it looks initially these plants will soon pick up we’ve got a nice mix that’s nice and upright that one but they’ve grown at different speeds
So this one’s a bit more stretched but we’ve got tiny leaves at bottom which will now start growing a little bit quicker that’s all we’re bothered about so again we’ll find another clump just try and ease them out if you only get a bit
Of root that’s fine that’s all you’re going to need I’m going to separate all those off there so we can still put them back together if we want to but that’s a nice looking little lettuce if you wanted to just plant that on its own but we’re doing this bunching
Method so we get something like this and then just feed everything in and just pinch it all together like that we don’t need to be too fancy with any of this then we just go again there’s some smaller stockier ones in Center so we
Can just pull a few of those out like that take that entire Clump again put that in press them Roots down and then Bunch it all together ever like that quick and easy looks like we got a lot
Out there that’s not a problem we’ll just separate that as we need to and again a nice little Bunch there a mixture of that red and green once again nice little bit of variety there so straighten and bunched together perfect and this is probably his first lettuce at year
And it’s a bit cold and people probably don’t care about lettuce at moment but we might as well get something on go in preparation for that new season see you there nice little Bunch once again so straight in pinch it together and again that’s another nice little bunch of
Lettuce sorted out I think that is a really nice Bunch right there and again loads of roots so straight in press it down if you have to press them down individually not a problem
Then pinch it together it you can see just how easy this is to do just take your time with it if it’s your first time doing it and everything will be fine smaller Bunch there but still all
Right 12 cut and come again lettuces planted in 10 minutes if that so another job well worth doing on a Monday morning 12 individual sets of lettuce ready to grow on I’ve notice this light is a bit rubbish in here again it keeps looking like it’s foggy but it’s actually not so there
We go brilliant we’ll keep those eye up on the benches away from slugs because little plants like that won’t last too few minutes and then we’ll move on to anything else that we can sort out over it next week but between now and then if you’re not already subscribe to the channel

I took your advice on over wintering peppers. There still going indoors. In the tunnel cabbage, purple broccoli just coming in and broad beans sowed in late sept 3ft now and flowering. Oh an d I put some carrotts In buckets like you suggested there showing now..all good.
Vas muy bien
I'm looking forward to your wonderful salads again this year. One of my favorite foods.
Thanks Ivan, for this great update, I must sow some cut and come again mixed salads soon as I'm missing them on my cheese-ham-tomato butties. Take care and all the best. Stevie
👍👍 Carry on……
I will definately sow a few lettuce seeds asap thanks
Sorry Ivan but off topic from your video but looking to fill my veg bed with coir and compost would I need perlite as well, I also had delivered yesterday a 20kg sack of chicken manure pellets to add for the nutrients would I still need perlite. If you want some of this chicken stuff I am more than happy to send you some. If I could only add pics you should see my spare room/gym phhhh
Thank you
Andy
