Fist time growing lettuce. It’s been germinating for 3 weeks and nothing has popped up. The packet they came in said 7-14 days. Is that Normal or is something wrong?

Have you kept the soil moist?

#### The\_rabbit\_patch respondió el 2025-04-05

Yes and it had a clear covering over it so it stayed warm and moist

how deep did you plant the seeds?

### Nicole comentó el 2025-04-06

Check to make sure you didn’t pot them to deep. After growing crops for years I’ve learned sowing the seeds at the top and covering with the tiniest layer of soil depending on what it is of course has made a difference. Also growing things like this they should stay in a tray with water to keep the soil moist.
