I have a couple pics of my indoor winter garden.

The big flat has two rows of lettuce one arugula in between (which already got trimmed) and yu choy sum at the back. Arugula, yu choy, komatsuna are always faster growing and bigger than lettuce when sown together. And so is kale, so much faster. That is baby leaf kale and lettuce in the small flat which has already been cut twice, even though it's too shallow for them the kales are bouncing up way faster than lettuce.

My dill, cilantro and parsely were sown the same time but dill germinated much faster so the cilantro and parsely is still at the first true leaf stage. I'm trying the dill densely planted in a deep container, it's ready for a first haircut. Although they are thin (competition for lights as I started too many things) they could be pretty in combination with bolder leaf like kale.

These are some spare romaines I have going in sixpacks. Freckles and Cold Hardy are really similar although Freckles is the fastest growing of the lot. Sherwood is a new one to me, amazing dark green color they are billed as an early "mini romaine". And the Red Romaine are pretty small but a great color. I don't know why but red lettuce always seems to grow much slower than the green. I noticed it every time in the cut-and-come rows at the farm, especially frilly reds, but they are gorgeous and so useful. I guess I would plant them earlier than the others, if I wanted to make a splash in a pot.
