baby greens

The lettuce has grown so quickly, I spent some time the other day pricking out seedlings into individual pots. I have to say, even though I made some mistakes this year (planting in an enriched soil instead of using sterile seedling mix- duh why did I forget that one this time) and I don't get the best germination in these greenhouse jugs, what does grow thrives and I do get strong, stocky plants out of it.

I have potted up ten of each kind- a green leafy lettuce (its either romaine or ceasar, I forget)

and the paler, delicate simpson (these are all still grown from seed I bought and saved seven years ago!)

also one broccoli got a pot (there are five more in the jug still)

So many seedlings left over, I rinsed them off and the handful made a sweet, crispy mouthful.
