Pot Update!

No, not that kind of pot, even if it is legal now.  Way back in the middle of February, when I got tired of waiting for spring, I planted a few pots of seeds.  Lacking a true green house, I moved them into the garage on cold nights(although, I'm not sure they stayed much warmer in there).  Now at about the 8 week point, I figure it's time for an update.

 

 

From top to bottom, there is a 'lettuce variety', kale, and spinach.  I also have a pot of Swiss chard, but, well...the one problem I have with my Droid 4 is the camera is not always the best.  It looks like fuzzy Swiss chard, which means right now it looks like the spinach with some red streaks on it.

 

I put A LOT of seeds in each pot.  I have done a few rounds of thinning already, and I will probably need to do at least one more, especially in the lettuce.  But...now things are at the point where I can 'thin' the lettuce and put it on a sandwich. 

 

 I'll admit, it has taken a bit longer to get to this point than I thought, but the spring has been a little more grey than usual in Eastern Washington.  That is changing now though.  We are expecting sunny and 78-82 the next few days.  I expect these greens are just about getting ready to explode. 

 

The good thing with pots, is once the full heat of summer is here, I can try to move the to a shady area to keep them from bolting.  I also intended to turn right around and use the same pots to get a fall crop of greens also.
