I want to try paper towel on top of soil for baby greens. I think the roots can penetrate paper towel so the plants can access soil nutrients, but the paper towel would keep the baby greens clean. IDK, it works out great in my imagination. Someone should try it. :gig

Success!

Microgreens looked a little pale today - seeds running out of nutrients, time to harvest.

@Grandmasporch Have you ever tried these

Would be a perfect size for us. Was wondering if I could reuse the containers or not. Might be fun for the little one to try.

I don't know why but I don't do sprouts 🤢

:lol:

I love sprouts. Great on a sandwich, great on a pizza.

We have a sprouter like what @Grandmasporch has, but it is white and I bought it from Johnny's seeds ages back... you can grow several levels of spouts at a time.

Paper towels? Wow - who knew!

I started gathering supplies this morning. Now, if only I can find the rest of my stupid seeds :old I'll be starting some soon. Actually, I found the corn and the broccoli - still looking for the radish and peas.
