Never say never, Melody.  You would not think a few years back that you would

be sprouting peas and sunflowers would you?

I'll chime in on the Wheatgreass topic. It is not, never has, nor will it ever

be my thing to grow. I'm a pea shoot, sunflower shoot, flax chia and brassica

kind of person. lol

Guess if you want wheatgrass juice it might be easier to just buy it.  I

havne't gotten out to try it yet.  I wonder if it would work better than grass

seed.  It sure looks pretty in people's  squares on the shelves with the

grass.

I have been sprouting wheat for the chickens. I now have some in soil for

grass, mostly for the chickens. However, I did cut some from the compost

bucket a few days ago and just ate it. Lots of chewing, but ended with a tiny

little wad, kinda like gum, which also got swallowed. Wasn't near as bad as I

had anticipated.I don't have a juicer yet, but I do plan on getting one,

probably just the little cheap manual to start. I also have several flats of

microgreens started for the chickens and just got some seed soaking for myself.

Different kinds of greens. Have been trying some sunflower shoots. Decided

they are very nasty near the soil line, but they get sweeter as I go up the stem

with the coty's being the best by far.

Also it seems to me that I had wanted to address some other topics, but now have

totally lost what they were. If someone had asked me a question that is yet to

be answered, please remind me. thanks much.

I found some juicers on ebay for $33, free shipping. I think I'll try one of

them first, perhaps after seeing what the blender will do..I'm in Idaho, so I

bought my first seed from a Utah company. Actually it is several

companies-living whole foods-handy pantry-wheat grass kits-herb kits...I found

that they sell the same stuff through all websites, but different sizes and

prices; also available on ebay and amazon. Crazy how they do that, and then add

freight in and there was a pretty big difference in cost.
