TOTALLY EXCITED about growing micro greens after my workshop yesterday...you can't believe what you can do with a gutter (with ends of course), sun, good soil, seeds and vermiculite. I cleaned up my plant corner in the kitchen and hope to try some inside start seeds for the season. Maybe some sprouts in a jar if I can figure that out...did you know that you can eat pea sprouts? Yeah babe - even nasturtium seeds and brassica family seeds - oh yeah.
TIP: Got dried up cranberry raisins, or plan raisins? Open that jar of mandarin oranges, add the raisins and put them in the fridge to plump up. Now add that to a salad with a touch of whatever else you need to make a sweet dressing. Maybe you don't even need the oil for a dressing or just a tidge with the leftover juices. Now add some more fruit if you like - apple or pear, goat or feta cheese, pecans or sunflower seeds- whatever. NOW you have a super salad! P.S.: this ROCKS with spinach.

Yummy tips! And your plant corner looks fantastic! I just set aside some packets of seeds for you - morning glories, squash, and tomatoes. I kept pumpkins and cilantro. If we're both successful, we can share produce! See you on Saturday with more spinach!
