Tiny seeds big plants

It's pretty darn amazing magical even that some thing so small can turn into something SO BIG, even HUGE at times.

In the tiny seed category are Radicchio seeds.  There are numerous varieties of radicchio & most here only know one, the ball snapped one you find with crimson red & white stripes. It starts out green and gets that 2-tone color by bleaching out the leaves, either manually some how by grower or by to growing tight on itself so that the center is a round ball shape no longer green!

This year I planted this variety. Look very closely, tiny seeds on left on soil.

 
They grew to this by June, bottom & left.



Another tiny seed I planted was for Chicory lettuce. I have a mix of 4 different types.
