Its been a week since seeding and we're seeing almost all pots
showing growth. Pots with multiple seedlings have already
had the weaker ones clipped ( stiff upper lip, now). The Pablo
lettuce--the nifty looking ornamental heirloom with purple coloring,
is showing tiny true leaves after six days. Also, the tiny cotlydons
themselves show the purple pigmentation right from start. That
was fun to discover, as in my limited experience all seedlings look
pretty much the same during their initial emergence.
Wondering about the reasons things sprouted sooner than the
germination times list on the packets. For example, Kale is
stated to be 8-12 days to germinate versus the 3 days here.
Only the Romaine is holding to its printed schedule. After
seven days, seeing a tiny speck of green in one of the three pots.
