I’ve watched arugula, kale, collard, and turnip seeds germinate and spring up almost overnight, whereas lettuce and spinach sometimes take weeks just to break the soil’s surface. Spinach and lettuce will also simply refuse to germinate during hot weather even when planted in the fall garden. Some gardeners roll lettuce seeds up in a moist paper towel and place in the refrigerator for a couple of days before planting them in the growing beds. You can also try starting the seeds indoors under grow lights to see if that gives you better results when growing fall vegetables. It helps to use fresh seed and planting your lettuce and spinach seeds rather thickly will improve the likelihood for success. Once you have sown the seeds make sure the fall garden beds are watered occasionally if the weather is dry to provide moisture for the seeds and to prevent the soil from forming a hard crust that is more difficult for the seedlings to penetrate. It sounds like you are doing everything right, so the only thing left is to just be patient and wait for these unpredictable seedlings to make their appearance.
