Out of the six containers that I had sown only two gave me starts of lettuce and spinach. I believe it was due to the insufficient drainage holes that I had put in the container. The starter cells all seemed to be water logged when I opened them. I kept the tops off for a few days to dry them out and that seemed to help a bit.
I also started some leafy greens in a mini greenhouse container and they seem to be coming along very well.. You can buy them at your local garden supply department. I will transplant them in a week for some early crops.
Regardless of the disappointing results, I will be trying this procedure again next winter but with more drainage.
Happy Gardening!
