Anyone ever grow these in an AG? If so how did it go?

The romaine went very well and is one of my faves.
The beet greens, while very tasty, were seriously underproducers. Just didn't sprout enough leaves to make them worthwhile.

Every romaine I've tried has thrived in AGs.
Beet greens are a different matter. They are hard to germinate, as the seeds are really pods containing a few seeds each.
However, AG includes them in one of their salad mixes. Perhaps they were able to break up the pods into individual seeds???

I have a pod with beet greens but not ready to use them as the lettuces are about to poke their heads up above the pod holes, tomorrow I think. I asked about beet greens because they are the most nutritious of all the seed pods I have to grow in the future. Thanks for responding.

I did not know that AG had a beet green pod. (It’s been awhile since I looked). Thanks for bringing this up. And yes the romaine type grows well.  |

I imagine that pak Choi, kale, cabbage, arugula are similarly nutritious and easier to grow in AGs. As an aside, I buy organic powdered beets and stir them into my drinks. They taste good, too. |
