Seedling Progress

So far, no disasters with the seedlings, so they are still doing well:

I also have some lettuce starts as part of the Slow Food Huron Valley seed trial:

The upper left is ‘Grand Rapids’:

In front of that is some ‘Black-Seeded Simpson’ I planted for comparison:

And the front right variety is ‘Sanguine Amerliore’ (also known as ‘Strawberry Cabbage Lettuce’):

The two rows that aren’t doing so well are the ‘Cimmaron’ and ‘Australian Yellow Leaf’ that I planted for comparison (top center and top right).

I’ve also started a four-pack of the ‘Mini Yellow Bell’ pepper which is in with the rest of my pepper seedlings.  I have some ‘Hanson’ head lettuce growing which is the SFHV trial variety but which I selected on my own to try as a fall planting last year.
