lettuce old and new

Took all the Bibb Lettuce seedlings out of the crowded tray, and moved them into individual cardboard-tube pots. They are much better formed than the earlier plants that didn't get into the plastic greenhouse right away; these ones hug the ground like they should and have sturdy growth.
Now the coldframe looks full of Lettuce! I have one more tray to divide into individual pots; the Romaine (which didn't sprout much, but it's our least favorite variety so I don't mind).

Also found some of the Lettuces I failed to clear out of the garden in fall, survived the snow and are growing new fresh leaves in the center of the old dead ones.

There is also one lone Spinach plant doing the same. I was really surprised to see that- I didn't even get to eat one last year because what little grew the bugs got first.

Looks like you've been very busy. It really does make me smile to see things sprouting already here in New England.
