No wasted seeds, and no wasted soil blocks. The bad thing is that a packet of lettuce seeds is capable of growing a thousand plants. I probable won't live long enough to use them all up!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-3654769936211196062014-02-26T20:36:56.236-08:002014-02-26T20:36:56.236-08:00My Little Gems are well established too.

I can't wait to start my early season greens this upcoming weekend. <br /><br />I pre-sprout my spinach seeds as well (which I'm sure I got the idea from reading you blog). I wouldn't do it any other way!Thomas Generaziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536611327617373090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-22980605251887664072014-02-23T17:39:39.089-08:002014-02-23T17:39:39.089-08:00David, if spring never comes, you can eat the onio...David, if spring never comes, you can eat the onion tops!

I got accused of eating my spinach seeds this morning. I was picking out the ones that had sprouted, and I noticed I had a little bit of peach jam on my finger so I licked it off. My daughter was here and I got "Mother! Are you eating your seeds???" No, Amy, I'm not completely senile...not yet. ;-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-74226808572256365172014-02-22T16:08:00.802-08:002014-02-22T16:08:00.802-08:00You're welcome.

Then a year or two later I accidentally ate my seed beans, so you came to my rescue and sent the next generation back to me. Oh how they have traveled the world. Or at least North America.
