Title: Micro Greens
Post by: Potiron on July 05, 2012, 10:06

  Since the veg garden is a disaster area after wind, rain, pigeons and now blight, I was thinking about growing some Micro Greens to restore my faith.
  Have started some Celery, Corriander and some Cress (got to have an egg and cress sarnie every now and then ).
  What else can I get going, didnt want to send for special seeds, want to do some more today, any suggestions ?

 P.S. I dont like Lettuce  :blush:

 Hi Mum.
   Is that the same beetroot seed you grow beetroots from or a special one?

I was going to have a go last winter and then never got around to it  ::)  When I was googling around to see what you could do, I found all the ones Mum says, plus kale, cabbage, mustard, radish, parsley and oriental greens all recommended to try.

Please let us know how you get on. You may spur me to get on with it  ;)  :)
