Sprouting


I bought an inexpensive sprouting system the other day and am trying it out for the first time.  It came with a few packets of seeds to try out.  I'm not doing a ton at first, just enough to give it a try.  I'm excited though.  I've been wanting to start sprouting for a while now.  This photo shows mung beans on top and broccoli on the bottom.

I received my first seed catalogue order.  I purchased a soil tester from Gurney's this year.  I figured if I am going to put in blueberry plants I'm going to need to keep an eye on the Ph.  Also in this shipment, I got an heirloom tomato mix, lettuce and dill.


I'm ready and waiting to get outside and start gardening.  Now if it would just warm up a bit...

Just remember to put pine needles, leaves or pine chips around the blueberries and they will do fine. We have a lot planted now and they did really well last year.

I use a very similar sprouting thing and I love it. It's so easy. I've been sprouting mung beans to go with thai noodles that I make, and clover sprouts for soups and sandwiches. My favorite so far are fenugreek sprouts and I like to put them in omlettes. Rich likes the raddish sprouts and they actually taste like radishes. Have fun!
