Hi all,
A few weeks ago I planted seeds with my kids but didnt mark what they are. I am an absolute beginner as you can tell. Would anyone be able to circle the seedlings and label them for me and the kids? It would be really appreciated 🙈

    The bottom one looks like some kind of brassica - maybe rocket or one of the oriental mustards, or wallflowers? The top one looks a bit like cress but that might be because there's so many of them close together.
    Did you keep the packets? It would be much easier if we knew what the options were  :)

    Bottom is a cabbage family plant, so could be anything from radishes to sprouts, the next one up looks like lettuce to me, I think the top one is a flower? the leaf shape is bugging me I think I should know what it is but I can't quite get there?

    I think the bottom one is radish, the next one up (in the same tray) is possibly a salad leaf of some sort and the top one is some sort of annual flower I think.  The way it has been sown would suggest a very small seed - could it be poppy?

    bugging me too, because I know I should know it, if that makes the slightest bit of sense.
