Anyone started growing lettuce yet?

help.... my lettuces are still looking really limp. Should I water them or leave them to pick up? They were transplanted outside sunday.

Water them.

Hi guys, planted my lettuces out last night and so thought i'd post a pic up. I love looking at everyone else's pictures so thought i'd repay the favour.



Apologies for not great pic, taken on phone....

Rows from left to right are:
1. Mixed leaf (f) and Iceberg (r)
2. Just put some radish in last night
3. Rocket (looks a bit weedy) and two chilli plants at the back.
4. Iceberg (f) and Little Gem (r)
5. Pak choi and couple of chilli plants at the back.
6. Carrots

As I said, that pic is taken just after they were transferred from their trays so they all look a bit poorly but a bit of water and some sun today, they should be right as rain.

Have sown my first batch of lettuce seed last weekend, but they are in a raised bed, and I have covered them with a plastic cloche, so they are being mollicoddled a bit!! They should be OK though, I have done this before and it seems to work as long as the slugs don't get them.
