Mrs. F.G. successfully harvested the first crop from her microgreens, planted only 12 days ago. I shared the first flush of growth with you a week ago tomorrow. Now we're adding Radish, Beans or Mustard microgreen 'confetti' to our salads.
The mustard grew a little more slowly, but it still adds a nice taste.
This is the radish harvest. You just shave them off with scissors.
A quiet day here, just working away. Surprised at how quickly U.S. politics has become suddenly peaceful. But still very concerned about Texas. It says a lot about deregulation of the power industry, and does suggest that a few rules for them to meet might be appropriate. But none of that helps the freezing families!
Heartbreak in Texas after a young lad died in the motor home.No matter how many blankets or clothes, that cold just seeps into your bones and body , We had to spend one night in our vehicle after the lights would not turn on, not prepared for such cold even in our spring here. Love your salad greens, what are they growing in, will I need a special medium, gravel and potting mix? I guess the aluminium baking dishes would be good, shallow and a good size.And disposable afterwards, or keep for the next year.
ReplyDeleteI found that down here they are grown in seed raising mix, and we already have a bag of that, so off to a good start.
DeleteI really must find out how to grow micro greens.
ReplyDeleteVery productive.
ReplyDeleteThose micro greens look great!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I shall try some lettuce seedlings in the south facing window. These look great and it would feel good to have something growing.
ReplyDeleteYour micro greens look great! What a treat in the winter.
ReplyDeleteYour microgreen beans, radishes, and mustard look great but oh my I would certainly have to have a generous slathering of peanut butter on all those greens to eat them.
ReplyDeleteI remember getting very excited about growing mustard and cress when I was a lad, but haven't ever tried since. I've noticed before that when politicians shut up everything quietens down. I sometimes think that peace was achieved in Northern Ireland, not by any great initiatives, but by a succession of quiet and very dull Northern Ireland Secretaries appointed at that time; eventually the press got fed up with interviewing them and things quietened down enough for progress to be made.
ReplyDeleteWith microgreens there's no weeding, work is done at a convenient height and you can always have fresh greenery. Although I sympathize with many of the people in Texas, the majority of them voted for the governor and legislators who decided to deregulate the industry and put profits over people. We'll see if they learned anything from this -- they apparently didn't learn in 2011 when they had a similar, although less severe, situation.
ReplyDeleteThe greens look great. They grew quickly. All the effort to do those shelves surely was worth it.
ReplyDeleteThis indoor gardening looks like something we should seriously consider.
ReplyDeleteNice garden! It's good to see the greens indoors. I have a sprout set, but I haven't had the mo jo to do it. sigh.
ReplyDeleteWoW!!! how fun and fabulous!! my son lives in austin and he has been untouched by the storm and never lost power. although everything is shut down in austin, they are fine and had gone food shopping before and were well prepared!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have a sunny window in the kitchen....hmmm.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you regarding Texas. The scary part is even those that didn't loose power are now facing astronomical bills since the providers can charge what they want. Yikes!
Take care, stay well.
What kind of beans are they? They look fabulous.
