Re: Question about flax and chia greens

[Guest guest]

That was same directions as was on my little peat pot planters with the kit.  I

got it for $4 at Big Lots.  May check to see if they have more.  Could barely

see a bit of green yesterday and waited and today there are 4 long stems with

green leaves and I took the top off.  problem is that they all look the same

and they are in different rows, unless it got turned around.  I didn't mark it

down so have no idea which is which.  A few others have some green right at the

top of the dirt or peat. It is in the sunroom now and the light is off tonight

but need to turn on in the morning.

Yes, the covers are only to retain moisture so that your seeds won't dry out

before the can germinate. Once you see any green, take off the covers so that

the sprouts can breath. This is for all sprouts except mung beans. I think mung

beans taste best if you don't let them get green.

Question about flax and chia greens

I have grown them in the past with great success but about 7 days ago (in the

middle of a hundred degree heat wave) and I WAS watering them every day but they

were growing on coffee filters, well the smell hit me and I tossed them all. I

had used the Debbie Myers Green boxes turned upside down and left them covered.

While we might not be in yet another heat wave, I just put up 5 new batches. I'm

growing them on Sure to Grow Mats. Once I see the little sprouts, do I then

remove any covers? I just want to make sure.

This is how EW says to do the pea shoots so I'm imagining the same rules apply??

Thanks, Melody
