That looks good, did they supply the soil as well as I imagine you can grow them without soil, just on wet pieces of tissue, the same as mustard, cress, mung beans etc.?
I used to grow mung beans regularly, they grow in about 4 days, I think from memory, was a long time ago.

dag the compost was supplied 4 little bags of it, but felt it wasnt enough so i added some of my own, will take pics when it grows a bit bigger, also got a herb basket but they havnt popped up yet will keep an eye on it, got it covered with a bag on balcony, will put that one in herb section.
it will be nice to have my own salad mix and its about 4 different salads in there

Never heard of black kale either, sounds interesting, we quite like ordinary kale, suppose it tastes the same? Will look forward to any pics Linda. |

the lettuce is growing a bit bigger but will wait for pics when they are starting to show their colours as they all just pale green little leaves at the moment
