Spring planting of lettuce in Rufford, Lancashire, UK April 2014. Massey Ferguson Tractor and automatic planting trailer are being used by Coe House Farms employees as they take advantage of the drying soils and warmer weather to plant spring vegetables. Semi-hardy propagated vegetable seedlings, either pressed blocks or loosely filled modules, from Premier Plant Producers should now thrive in the newly tilled soil although they may be covered with fleece if there is a risk of frost.
