Yes, they will be tiny little seedlings. I don't direct sow anything, actually.

Still have some Spring planted arugula growing out back lasting all through the summer. I harvested seeds from the bolted ones and now have seedlings in egg carton shells that germinated in 3 days. Pretty hardy stuff to last so long in high heat. Now I’ll wait to transplant the new seedlings in cooler temps—thanks for all the advice.
My wife has three “Earth Boxes” on a cart. She has lettuce growing well into the winter, both fall and spring, as we pull the cart out when possible and into the heated garage when it freezes.
