In our oldest tray

Density of plants

Density after harvesting every third row.

Harvesting every third row means that each plant in the remaining double-rows has one direction it can expand into.

The lettuce was harvested with kitchen scissors to minimize the disturbance to the roots and to reduce the amount of dirt I brought into the kitchen.

The seedlings I transplanted late last week

Mizuna

Green Forest lettuce

Yesterday afternoon. Lettuce on the left. Mizuna on the right. So far the nod goes to Mizuna for growth-rate.

  1. There is something (a bird?) eating my lettuce starts! I'm going to try some spinach, and 1 more run indoors for a week+ to see if they survive predation.
