seems like a lot of work for what appears to be one large salad worth of lettuce

@tylertyler82 Oh it is more work than buying it at the store for sure! But I got absolutely no pesticides in my food, plus they grew like 5 time that size before winter. So I got los and lots of salads from them!

Very nice looking spinach you have there. I got lazy and didn't plant a third crop this fall. I do have seeds leftover from spring though so I'll be growing spinach, lettuce, peas etc inside this winter. It sure does help make the long winter bearable. :)

btw, why are your raised beds up so high? Is it just for ease of reach? Just curious.

Well I built wooden boxes to go on the asphalt so I decided to make legs for them. So yeah mostly for reach. Good luck with your indoor gardening

Nice plants :)

For worms, you can dust the plants with flour. The worms eat it and it swells up inside them and they die.
