Lettuce

I had 29 seedlings that I transplanted into individual containers on Sunday. I'd left them outside after transplanting and after a few days most of them looked terribly wilted and dead. I brought them inside Wednesday night, but had given up on them, believing that I'd lose most of them.

Today I went to water and in the container that hold a definitely dead seedling are 2 new sprouts! I know this isn't surprising as there were probably more seeds that just hadn't started yet, but the imagery is beautiful and made me so happy this morning. I looked around and actually have 4 new sprouts! Hooray, I will have lettuce this summer!!
