My lettuce, arugula, radish, and mizuna seeds have finally poked out of the soil. I think the delay must have been due to a combination of unusually cool temps and crusted-over soil.

| Luckily these volunteer cilantro seedlings had no trouble germinating. |
 |
| These lettuce seedlings, on the other hand, were very slow to get going. If you can believe it, I planted these almost a month ago! It took almost two weeks before I saw any sign of germination. |
 |
| This self-sown arugula will also help add to my early spring salads (assuming it isn't technically summer by the time these things grow big enough) |
Now you can start dreaming of delicious salads!
ReplyDeleteLove volunteer plants-they always seem so much "stronger" than transplants.
ReplyDeleteSue: so true! I could never grow seedlings indoors that are as healthy and strong as the self-sown ones!
