True Leaves


We started our first batch of seeds on Sat. Feb. 13th. It didn't take long for the seeds to germinate. Within about 3 or 4 days, the lettuce, daisies and zinnias had germinated. We thinned most of the lettuce down to two or three plants per individual container and then just waited for the true leaves to appear. We are finally starting to see true leaves appear on the daisies and lettuce. Maybe in another week or so we will start transplanting the plants with true leaves into a big container to continue growing. I was wondering what the funny looking leaves were on some of the lettuce. Also, just glancing at some plants I was wondering if there were some grass seeds mixed in. I finally remembered we planted Mesclun which is a mix of different seeds. I'm always amazed at what is contained in such a little seeds.
