Wow Melody! They're fantastic, when did you start these little beauties? Mine

are far, far behind, they're just starting to grow green shoots but their roots

are teeny!

If there's a race I'm gonna lose it here hehe

Peas are looking good too, one day I'll stump up the massive shipping costs and

buy from Sprout People. Just waiting for my current supplies to run down a bit.

As I said before I live in the wrong country sometimes

Looked like they were growing well.  Did you do the video on using the

orgreenic pan?  Sounded like your voice, Melody.  And thought that might be

your veggie batter patties.  They look really good if they are.

I started germinating them on Friday.

They are really growing nicely. And the pea shoot!!!! What a difference between

regular peas and the ones from Sproutpeople.

I'm very impressed. lol

That's been my experience and I have other sources over time and they have the

I don't know how long that one is on there and you never show your face, only

your husband's. LOL.  It just sounded like your voice and I don't recognize

your hands.  So, is that you?

I haven't bought a lot but Sprout People has seemed to be good.  No bugs in

ones I have gotten from them.  I may go ahead and  buy some peas and

sunflowers  from Sprout People and let the can I bought before of sunnies just

sit there until I have room in the freezer to let it sit for 60 days.

Melody are you growing them blanched or green? I'm really undecided here with

mine. I had intended to go soil-less but I changed my mind and they're in a

compost/vermiculite mix, they seemed so slow germinating that I decided they

could do with the extra help of having somewhere to anchor themselves properly.

I might keep them dark, try them blanched and then green them up. I can't see an

awful lot of difference between the two states really, I do think it's a real

gimmick to have them as a pale yellow (think popcorn colour!), the restaurants

probably like them that way.

Here's something interesting. Someone somewhere on a forum had posted

complaining that their popcorn shoots tasted bitter. They'd grown them blanched.

The advice from another forum member was that blanched = less sweet. It made

good logic, as it is the photosynthesis that produces the sugars. So, if

blanched, logically they should be less sweet although more tender. That's the

opposite of what we're led to believe! Even if the sweetness of blanched popcorn

shoots is due to the carb-rich kernels somehow being converted into sugars to

provide energy for growth, then the photosynthesis of a green popcorn shoot

should make it sweeter still.

That's why I am swaying towards green shoots. If sprout people are happy with

green, and they're experts in growing, then maybe I'm messsing about unduly by

finding a completely dark space for them!

Charlotte:

I'm in complete agreement with you. To keep it simple, I'm just doing them like

pea shoots. I have no desire to keep them in the dark (where on earth would I

keep them in the dark anyway?). If I put them in a dark closet, I'll forget

them, lol lol

So in a few days, if they shoot up, I'll do another video and we can all see how

my popcorn SHOOTS, instead of POPS!!!

lol

Melody

[Guest guest]

That was more like it.  You need to stand in front of the camera for a change

so we can see you as well as what you are growing.  Maybe s tripod or maybe

Alan can hold the camera.  You look quite attractive and jolly and look very

professional looking and you should be in some of your videos.

I should have realized you weren't a chunky monkey like me.  I haven't gotten

into sprouts enough.  I wouldn't want to be in front of the camera right now.

I love you. You just told me I wasn't a chunky monkey. I have (or should I say

HAD), been a chunky monkey all my life. Sprouting really changed the way I

look.

Thanks again

I sure need to learn more about eating sprouts.  I don't like being a chunky

monkey either.
