Seeds are Shaping Up

golden beets and on the far right a single row of red beets
I'm finally seeing some of my seedlings begin an active growing cycle, they had largely stagnated for about a month, but I suspect some recent warmth and possibly the longer days have kicked them into action.

I'm still having uneven germination and growth rates but I'll worry about that later. While doing a little thinning I was eating the micro greens rather than toss them and was AMAZED at how delicious the spinach was - I have never tasted buttery, sweet spinach before and if that's what I'm in store for then this will be well worth the work.
