Not being a gardener --- Is there something special about the seeds for micro greens that differs from the seeds for the vegetables themselves?  Or are micro greens just harvested before they are mature?

Besides the points that Martin makes, with which I agree, it is nice to have a mix of varieties. It is a lot cheaper to buy one packet of micro-green mix than to but one packet each of beets, radish, mizuna, arugula, etc. I actually have all the types of seeds i would need to make a mix in the seeds i have purchased for my spring planting. But I find it easier to spend a couple of extra dollars on a packet of mixed seeds. :P Mostly laziness but also once the packets are opened they always seem to leak. 

 

@DiggingDogFarm - Thanks for that link - I am not familiar with High Mowing Seeds. I've bookmarked the site for exploration.
