Micro greens harvest

Our first batch of micros grew a little bit beyond "micro" size, but they're not yet "baby" greens, so call them whatever you like. I checked the calendar and these greens were in the ground for exactly four weeks.

Micro greens: chard, spinach, mustard, arugala

I harvested about a pound and a half on Sunday, and shopped them around today on the bike. The closest restaurants (Firehouse, Good Neighbor Pizzeria and Rumpspankers) are about 6 blocks away and I didn't even have to pedal, just coast downhill. Everyone expressed interest, wondered about regular availability, so I came home and planted another bed! I'm going to ramp up to producing two pounds a week.
