You can plant lettuce seeds in either of them. Don’t bury the seeds as they need light to germinate. Seed sowing mix can be made simply by using cocopeat.

Hi GG,
Can I plant my lettuce seeds into regular fertilised soil (potting mix) into either my starter kit seed tray or into a flower bed which is 1 foot deep? I live in Bombay and while it is summer now, my terrace where I want to try the lettuce will have rain in another month / 45 days. Any suggestions? I have no idea where to get the seed sowing mix.

Hey GG,

I was wondering – from where did you get all these lettuce seeds in Bangalore? Would you be able to share them? Do you have any experience with rocket or argula types? Also, when do you start giving them manure – do you replant them in soil after germination?

Anbarasu, there is no one best variety of lettuce. It depends on what you are looking for. You get lettuce seeds in Gandhinagar and in Lalbagh too.

Nice work Deepak,

You can get lettuce seeds in National Seeds on the same cross as INDAM(before taking a right turn for Indo American seeds).

Hi GG,
Growing vegetables gives me great pleasure. I have started off growing some for my family using the Coir method you suggested. I am growing Tomato and Beans and first harvest is about a week ahead.
Meanwhile, I am impressed about the lettuce. Can you share the source of Lettuce seeds, is it on the IndoAmerican Seeds on the KR Road, Bangalore?

Can you help me with this?
Thanks
Deepak
