My lettuce (romaine) started sprouting 2 days ago and they went outside for the first time today to toughen them up for transplanting into pots. I figure about 2 weeks of taking them outside all day and inside at night and they will be ready to pot up and leave outside in a cold frame. Then as soon as it looks like no more frosts they will go in the ground. I direct seed leaf lettuce though.
