my mesclun salad mix at 2 weeks old.
...Overcrowding like a Tokyo condo!
"Spacing! Pfffft! Staggered sowings? Pish Pash! Maybe ONE in ten seeds will sprout at BEST and I want lettuce NOW!"
Hmm... Er.. Ahh. Huh.
Gardening Lesson # 1: The seed packet knows what it's talking about.
So I set about thinning them...
At the garden centre I found two used plastic seedling trays that they let me take for free. Their shallow bottoms would work just fine for shallow-rooted baby lettuces.
I also transplanted a handful of seedlings at the correct spacing next to the main row...
...Well that takes care of 43 of about a gajillion seedlings.
Hmm. *Scratch head*
Gardening Lesson #2: Give in to the Dao; let it be!
We'll just have to sit back and see what happens in... Survivor: Garden Battle 2010, The Lettuce Edition.
