I planted these seeds in the greenhouse a week ago and they are sprouting. Even though these are cool weather/early seeds, there is just not enough sunlight until late february to avoid elongation. So for a week or two I bring them indoors under lights, then harden them off back in the greenhouse before I plant them outside around march first. If every thing works out I will be up to my armpits in salad and saute greens by the first day of spring.
