I've been planing lettuce and radishes in these planters, which measure roughly 2' long by 8" wide. I start the seeds inside where it's a bit warmer, then move the planters out to the greenhouse. Early on I had problems with fungus gnats but I've figured out a remedy that worked very well (more on this later).
Here's a shot of the planters about 3-4 weeks after planing. I trim a bit of lettuce for dinner when we need a salad. Mixed greens on the left, red and green lettuce on the right. I had assumed that fresh greens would be crispy (why, I don't know...) but these aren't - they're almost silky or have a wilted feeling even though they're completely healthy. I've also noticed that the fresh lettuce doesn't spoil as quickly in the fridge.
