Help! Can't remember what I planted!

9 years ago

I sowed some arugula, broccoli, mesclun, and basil seeds a few weeks ago and completely forgot to write down which is what! Any help identifying them would be great!!!!

(If my seedlings look a bit sad, this is my first time ever gardening)!

Thank you!!!

By definition, mesclun is usually a mix of seeds (various salad greens).

The ones with 2 heart or kidney shaped first leaves (seed leaves) are either arugula or broccoli - this shape is characteristic of many common vegetables of the Brassicaceae family (mustard, broccoli, cabbage, etc.)

The ones with the 2 rounded triangle shaped first leaves are basil. This shape is characteristic of the mint family (Lamiaceae).

Your probably going to have to wait till they get a bit older to tell the difference between arugula and broccoli.. they're too closely related. It shouldn't matter as far as planting out.. they take similar conditions.
