Lettuce Seedlings

Sarah from Waltham

Part of the idea was to give some to neighbours.
If anyone wants some lettuce seedlings, I have some ready free for you.
Ideal if you live on own as purchasing 6 packets of seedlings isn't always ideal.
I can give you 2, 3 or 4 seedlings if you want. Just let me know.

These can be grown in small containers such as an ice-cream container. No need to have heaps of garden space.
