From Tiny Seeds, Mighty Mesclun Does Grow

I was going to post these pictures on the Butchers, Barkers, Candlestickmarkers blog, but David beat me to it with his bread post. So I've decided to thrill even the non-foodies with these action-packed photos of lettuce emerging from the soil.



That's Swiss chard on the left half and mesclun (a mix of spring greens) on the right.



And here's Butterhead on the left and a different mix of greens on the right.

I'm going to give these a few more days (maybe a week) inside, and then transplant them to a little patch in my backyard. Then I'll be on 24-hour watch for the rabbits prowling my yard, seeking what lettuce they may devour. Look for outdoor pictures soon.
