These lettuce seedling germinated faster for me than they have in a peat pellet. This picture was taken four days after planting. These are dicot (aka dicotyledon) seedlings. Monocot would be seedlings with one "seed leaf."
Those tiny fibers on the end of the plant are root hairs.
They are very delicate which is helpful to know when transplanting.

I won't be transplanting these until they get a "true set of leaves."
The first "leaves" you see are called cotyledon and are the embryonic leaves aka seed leaves.
Dear Reader, I am always struck awe at God's creation! Our natural world always points us to Him. Maybe that's why so many of us find nature so calming, restorative, and revitalizing! I hope you can manage to find some time outdoors very soon.
