My spinach seedlings have been shooting:
and beans:
I took the above photo this morning. This evening when I was watering my tomatoes, I noticed that they'd grown immensely during the day and they looked like this:
You can use the mushroom compost lump (with the white veiney things) in the morning and first evening photo as a size reference.
Even though I've been getting a whole heap of intentional seedlings, I've also got these patches of seedlings that I'm sure I didn't sow. The weird thing is, they're all in clumps as if I deliberately planted them.
Here's an even bigger clump surrounding my basil seedlings. The two basil seedlings are on the top left and right of the picture (the bigger leaves):
Part of me thinks that as the beds were full of weeds only recently they're probably just weed seeds, but what if they're self-seeding from the previous owner's vegie plants?
And what about the areas that I planted in - how do I know whether they're the intentional or unintentional seedlings? Because I haven't grown a number of the vegies before, I don't actually know what the seedlings look like....
