I finally got around to transplanting the 320 or so lettuces that have been sitting under lights in the basement.  Despite the fact that I’m still working out a good, efficient process, it went pretty quickly.

There are six different kinds of lettuce in the two beds; a mix of buttercrunches, and green and red leaf.  The basic procedure is to jab the transplanter into the bed, open the bottom kind of like a post hole digger, reach down and take a plant from the tray and drop it into the tube, lift the transplanter, step down the row, and repeat.  Every three plants or so I have to pull the cart closer to me.  Not ideal (it would go much faster with two people), but it’s definitely workable on the small scale I have.
