Re: Sprouting in the dark & greening up at the same time

[Guest guest]

the sprouts on top  are those the sunnies or the peas in the bigger tray on the

left.  Tje leaves are such an attractive shape and will look good. I sort of

think it may be the peas as I saw one on line someplace where they had a soup

and had some green on it (not like sprouts though but more like clipped off

leaves and stem and think they were sunnies or peas.  Was attractive. 

 

 

I have ordered my coir, Melody.  Only one block until I see how it goes and got

some kelp/seaweed fertilizer.  Do you put that in your sunnies and peas or

not?  In your microgreens?  And how is that flax in the paper plates doing? 

See any sprouts yet?  They had a couple kinds of coir as one was dry and

loose.  I thought one brick would give me all I needed for some time.  I'll

break or saw some off and rehydrate it.

Hi All. Because I'm now growing microgreens AND sprouting, I want everything to

be done on my living room sprouting shelf. Because my newly made sunnies and pea

shoots have to be initially in the dark for a few days I found an easy solution

(made even easier since I made this video earlier today). As you will see in the

video, I have some in the dark and on top of the shelf I have the sunnies and

pea shoots.

I re-designed it after making this video. Now ALL my sunnies and pea shoots are

sunning on the top shelf and the bottom shelves are in the dark with newly

seeded sunnies and pea shoots. Works just fine.

So this is the video I made earlier today. You'll see what I mean. And I think

I'm going to put my Sproutgarden right next to the shelves so I'll have

everything in one neat garden spot.

And was absolutely right about the Flax growing on paper towels on

plates. They dried up. So I did a brand new batch in coir.

Carolyn:

The tray on the left are all sunnies. Sprouting really nicely. The smaller trays

that are sprouting are the pea shoots. The ones that are now covered and are in

the dark are trays of both sunnies and pea shoots. These shoots really shoot.

And the flax on the paper plates, (as I said in the video), well was spot

on. She knows her sprouting. They dried up. So (look at the video again), I put

some coir on a paper plate and added some flax seeds and now they are in the

dark too.

They will take A LONG TIME to germinate but who cares. I will then have a bit of

flax in my diet. lol

Take care, Melody
