This planter contains garlic bulbs and lettuce seeds. The 2 shoots near the tall sticks are the garlic bulbs and were planted merely last month! So go and get your sprouting garlic bulbs and stick them in the ground right now! The lettuce seeds aren't doing so hot though, or maybe need more time? I hear mixed stories about planting lettuce seeds and so far I haven't gotten them to germinate outside in the summer, inside in the fall, or as demonstrated here, outside in the winter. I won't give up though!!!!!

Great blog Rebekah! Having the same problem with seed germination. Planted kale, lettuce, peas,and radishes 2 weeks ago and only kale has come up. Too chilly? Old seeds? Might try again in another week or two.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! Your blog has been inspiration for me. I think I'll retry this weekend with salad seeds. If they are as easy as people say they are, then eventually I'll get some to grow. One of the biggest problems I'm faced with, with store bought lettuce, is either they turn mushy (w/o the paper towel in the crisper) or they dry out (with a paper towel in the crisper)>
