Ok, it’s not quite MacArthur Park, but this pack of lettuce seeds did get an unexpected soak. Great germination rate by the looks of it and a lovely sculptural form.
P.S. Eight days later.
Hello there. Welcome to 'out of my shed'. It's a blog about gardening in London throughout the year, with a visit now and then to some fab gardens further afield.

Looks great I don’t think I would have guessed what it was
Hi JG, Although initially annoyed at wasting a pack of seeds, I was delighted when the open packet revealed this gorgeous condensed growth. Took me quite by surprise too.
Micro veg at its finest!
Indeed!!
Pretty!
Hi Janet, have kept watering them and they’re still going strong. They may be worthy of another pic in a day or so….
