VIDEO TUTORIAL BELOW
Our Tom Thumbs
Not long ago we sowed our Tom Thumbs, put them in our garden room and they came along a treat so last Thursday we pricked them out and are looking forward to eating our salad crop in due course!

We do successional sowings with our lettuces as there are many seeds so we just sow what we need and keep some back.
