First Salad?


Mesclun Gourmet Greens Mix planted in half of a large pot with a  tomato plant on 6/6/09.  The seed packet says 7-10 days to germination and mine came up in 3 days.


Baby's Leaf Hybrid Spinach planted in the other half of the tomato pot on the same date.  It says 7-14 days for seedlings and mine came up in 6.

I planted these seeds at dusk on a very chilly evening after returning from the store.  The seed packet is promising me 30 days to harvest for the spinach and 40 days for the lettuce, so each day counts!  I'll be planting more lettuce soon - probably at certain intervals over the summer to guarantee fresh, green, delicious salads all season.
