In the Garden

One Dud out of Six

My experiment with the wood pallet made into a mini-greens garden has been growing nicely. But one of the packets was a dud, not a singleĀ  germinated from the packet. That is very unusual for me. I have never had a whole packet refuse to grow, and it was red leaf lettuce no less. Lettuce is one of the easiest seeds to grow!

I’ll just wait for a cool, rainy day to transplant some from one of the other rows. Or rather, a cool, rainy day when I remember to transplant from one of the other rows. And it is time to start the thinning process anyway. The thinned greens are so tender and delicious. The ones that I don’t transplant can be added directly to the dinner salad.
