I love it. I have 3 sprouts from the first sowing of lettuce and today I started another batch. The second batch didn't sprout but that's ok. I have big hopes for this third group. Hopefully the weather will cool down before they need to be planted outside.
But I'm just thrilled that they are sprouting. Last year I didn't have any luck with them at all either spring or fall. And this spring I didn't even try lol.

Have you tried the mesclun mix in a pot? It is such a tasty addition to a salad or sandwich and looks great in the pot. I haven't tried to bing mine inside yet, they do exceptionally well on the deck though.
