Re: Re: Broccoli Microgreens go Bad

Since we also grow for markets and a co-op, I just use my mix from the big

garden. Black seeded Simpson, red oakleaf, waldmanns dark green etc.

What kind of lettuce sprouts are you growing? I'm still trying to figure out

what I want to grow on a regular basis.

broccoli, I have only sprouted.  Maybe once you cut into the

the sprouts seem to last quite awhile.

That would be nice to be able to grow enough to sell to coops and stores or

restaurants and then get them for yourself as well.  I am really learning how

to grow as I go.  I have something I may need to ask EW what it is.  It is a

vining plant and I figure it is cucumber, yellow squash or zucchini.  but I

planted and put a light on it and they were leggy and are now growing up my

blinds and windows.  Have to get down soon and put them in a container with a

trellis.  My beans are still not put out any flowers or beans.  They have been

out for a couple of months now and seem to be taking long, but are growing

fairly well.  Any ideas from anyone?
