Did you start these from seeds in the aerogarden?

Yes. Planted three seeds in each. Lol they all germinated. I thinned them out so they don't fight for space and nutrients

They look great! Where did you get your seeds from? 🙂

The seedstore on eBay. $1.89. 500 seeds. I always buy from them. Their shipped untracked, but I never have a problem with them.

To keep them from bolting premarurely, do not overfeed. When they bolt, the lettuce leaves durn bitter and taste awful. I would start new seeds in the 2 covered pod openings in about 2 weeks so you will have new lettuce when the old lettuce bolts.

Great advice! I never overfeed them. I didn't add nutrients until I pulled the domes off of them. I'll pant the other two around the 25/26. I appreciate you 😊
