Lettuce is something we eat a lot of and something that I have not been particularly good at growing in the past. I've had a couple of good years, I can grow it but it gets eaten by slugs and snails and I tend to see very little in the way of harvest.
No Lettuce at all grown in 2019 as a result of the leg injury, and in 2020 until the winter months but in 2021 I intend to try growing hydroponically in my second allotment greenhouse and as cut and come again at home.
I'm going to blitz the slug and snail population and hopefully have some success.
Lettuce Seeds when kept in ideal conditions last between 3 - 6 years. Most companies only allow 2 - 3 years between the saved on and the sow by dates on the back of their packs.
Yes there will be a reduction in germination rate as the seeds get older but you can always chit 10 on damp kitchen towel to check out the current germination rate %, especially as they are supplied in 100's, and 1,000's per pack.
Review Of Seed Stocks in Zippy Bags
I have made the decision to throw anything that was in the zippy bag collection and Sow by 2018 away or use it in pots as cut and come again.
