For some reason, I cannot get spinach and lettuce seeds to sprout. Is there something I need to do besides planting in seed starting mix and keeping them moist? Light on them or no light?
I have tried planting them in seed starting mix, Jiffy peat pots and potting soil. On a heating mat and without the heating mat. The other seeds I planted at the same time have sprouted, but never the lettuce and spinach. I have tried 3 different brands of spinach seeds, none of them have ever sprouted.
I would like to grow a planter of spinach and a planter of lettuce in my sitting room during the winter. I have south facing windows and a shop light for additional/extended light hours.
Anyone have any advice?
