I fixed the gap by growing more often in the smaller 5x7" trays.
Radish is fast as is buckwheat. Peas and sunflowers a few days behind so
I need to start more often.
If I do a full 1010 tray it takes up some major real estate so that I save for any
up-coming dinner party. But even then, the smaller trays I'll just start more of them.
Sharing bulk seed is the way to go. Now that I have co-workers in the mix and
ordering together, I have more varieties to test. The salad pic above can't be more than
10cents in seed. And so fresh. The bagged stuff is 2.99 in the grocery and no flavor
and often one leaf in the mix is often rotting.
Then consider the pure health of it all, not needing transporting. Any veg cut and
needing travel time to market looses much of its food value.
