Semi-hydroponics lettuce – Day 23

This batch of lettuces (local, butterhead, buttercrunch and iceberg) all get the full morning sun, and my bright table light at night.

Melaleuca alternifolia seedlings

They are taking a VERY long time to grow fast!

Chocolate mint

And, from the kindness of Rummi’s heart, she gave me some free cuttings from the choc mint bunch I sold her (I need to wait for my basil mint to grow out and then root for her!). They are now doing really well in the semi-hydroponics setup with full morning sun and nighttime lamp.

    Wow, a chocolate mint…very interesting, is this different from the normal mint that we find in the market?

    Hi. Yups. The normal mint is commonly known as spearmint (but should be known as tashkentmint instead, I think). This choc mint smells heavenly.
