Looking to try something new? Try growing veggies from seeds!🥬🍅
There’s lots of information on the back of a seed packet, so “lettuce” break it down for you:
Days to Emerge/Germinate: this is when you can expect to see your seedlings start to sprout
Seed Depth: this will tell you how deep to plant your seed
*bigger seeds typically get planted deeper and smaller seeds get planted closer to the surface
Seed Spacing: this tells you how far apart to plant the seeds and how many per hole
*for larger seeds, it’s recommended to do one per hole, and 2-3 per hole for smaller seeds
Thinning: tells you when and how much to cut back
*this ensures the remaining seedlings have enough room to grow without crowding
All seeds vary on planting instructions so it’s important to read carefully.
