Does anyone know how to get lettuce seeds germinate? I've bought numerous packets from different sources with no joy...

Hi, I stick my seed in the fridge for three days before planting then chuck it on quite damp soil pat it down and keep the soil moist. I dont put anything on top exect a little bit of sand if Ive got it. Remember snail bait or whatever - they could be germinating but the pests will get to them before you can see !!!!

All you need is some seed raising mix put seeds in according to the packet give a good watering and don't water it until you see the seeds coming up about a week and then keep moist keep in a warm place if you can or you an buy a small hot house for raising seeds happy planting
