When is lettuce too lanky?

I sowed some more seeds a few weeks back and so far (touch wood) they seem to be doing ok...apart from my Tumbling Tom Tomatoes (which haven't done anything) and my lettuce which went from just pushing through the soil to about 2 inches tall and barely able to hold itself up. Does this mean it's too weedy to do anything? Will have to re-pot it on the weekend to see.

What seems to be going well so far are spinach, sweet basil, alisa craig and sweet millions tomatoes, borage, parsley and garlic chives. As well as the garlic I planted early Feb.

light evenings...finally

I am very pleased that the evenings are getting lighter (and drier, and warmer...) and I am looking forward to being able to get out into the garden during the week.

I have a full weekend planned in the garden this weekend. Re-planting seeds that went slightly awry last time and checking out my new fence and, hopefully, taking some photos. AND I will be shopping for a rabbit hutch! Very excited. A mate of mine has recently had baby bunnies...well, she didn't, but you get the gist, and I am on the list to get one. So cute. Not sure what the cats will think of it though... :)
