a huge day of growth here on the farm. yesterday only one of these pods had seedlings in it. now there are 13 pods that have seedlings in them.
I did the planting in a bit of a haphazard way so it's tough to see patterns but the most developed seedlings are the broccoli, followed by two iceberg lettuce (which have just started to come to the surface). I think tomorrow or the next day we can expect to see a few more lettuce come through and the broccoli rows fill out.
learning a lot about seedlings, how to tell how healthy they are etc. so that I can prepare to thin them out before they start to compete too much with one another.
I'll talk more about thinning tomorrow, as well as some experiments that I'm going to conduct around having a couple "wild" pods that are allowed to compete with one another the whole season to see how that impacts the resulting vegetables.
