Aerogarden 3 - Romaine Lettuce
Today, March 13, 2009 I planted Romaine Lettuce.
Welcome the new babies!
2 of these romaine pods have sprouted. Still waiting on the 3rd.

Maybe taking the seeds out was not a good idea 
I got 1 plant in 1 pod and 2 in the other. I took the seeds out that had not sprouted and put them in potting soil (maybe they will sprout in there... ya never know) and I put more seeds back in the pods. That was kinda tricky but its a good thing that I's skilled with a tweezer! 
Yeah, it's better to just let 'em all sprout, then thin them to three.
9 days old...

The additional seeds I added back in the pod have now sprouted.


Yummmm. When is 4 weeks up? 
Salad greens I give a 3 week head start. Romaine 4 weeks. Then CHOMP.
3 weeks & 1 day

The AG romaine lettuce leaves are growing so very fast now!

Yummm. Harvesting yet?
Not yet. But will this week for sure!
Ooh, looks yummy!






I read somewhere here on the boards that romaine lettuce only tolerates 3 plants in a pod at a time so I removed about half of the seeds very carefully with a teeezer. I felt like I was playing Operation like when I was a kid!
I saved the rest to plant for another time.
