Growing Lettuce and Greens

The grandkids and I planted micro greens this week. They are sprouted and looking great. I like the mixture of many types of greens and get less tired of the mixture than of a single type of green. I order mine from Botanical Interests and buy them at the local nursery or online.

Their website it great- Botanical Interests
Below is the description from their website for this great mixture.

Micro Greens Mild Mix Seed

Assorted Genera and species

Item #0173

25 days. Liven up sandwiches, salads, soups and crackers with Micro greens, the newest specialty food in gourmet restaurants and grocery stores. Tasty and nutritious, they are very easy to grow, and can be grown at any time of the year, even indoors in the winter! The varieties in this custom mix will all be the perfect size at the same time, with an appealing flavor and texture combination as well as a beautiful color presentation.
This packet plants one 10" x 20" flat.
Sow in large, shallow containers outdoors, or indoors under grow lights or near a sunny window (see inside of packet for detailed sowing instructions). Containers can be moved as needed, to allow for the best light exposure and temperatures. Harvest when leaves are 1" – 2" tall. our mix contains equal parts of Beet Bull’s Blood, Cabbage Red Acre, Kohlrabi, Pak Choi and Swiss Chard Lucullus.

I will be planting more greens in the weeks to come, both to grow in the aquaponics set up and also to plant outside.
