My mixed salad 'spicy' is always evolving. It is in a 1/2 pint ball jar in the freezer.
A few different mustards, arugula, and a half dozen various mesclun mixes that I
picked up in August sale bins. As well as a Johnny's and a SeedsNow mix that I have
added to that jar. I stopped trying to make a solid measured 'mix' as all the
combinations grow well together being the same size seed. I'm getting a good
collection of shape and color letting it grow to true leaf.
I make my own condiments like mustards, so I have a few different mustard seeds
....white, yellow, and a few browns, but no idea the variety. I buy them one lb and
and five lb quantity at a time so super cheap. And organic.
I clearly don't do anything I say I want to do. Plans, no plans. This pic from
from yesterday, is a 'spicy' mix, just uncovered. A 1010 tray of all four posted above
with a tbsp of buckwheat. A new trial thinking they might do well together....so far
so good. And two 5x7's...one is daikon radish and a solo mustard. Red Rambo radish
I started yesterday as well as some herbs.
So very different just this morning and growing fast. (I'll pic again tomorrow)
And new thoughts that seems to be working during the drier Winter deep freeze
months.
