So yesterday I (and the children) put a few seeds on compost in a 10 inch deep pot, in the middle of the pot we put a bottomless plastic cup (filled with compost -like a pipe I suppose) and put a few seeds in that too - hopefully these ones will be longer.

I wanted to upload pictures - but haven't got that advanced in the blogging yet.

I've only been blogging since I've had this - 3 days - that's my excuse.

Not sure how deep the container should be.
Lettuce is another new one for me -so far I've sowed in pots and will be transplanting outside depending on the rain.
