Microgreens
So I've started growing some microgreens to see how they do for adding a bit of garden freshness over the cold months. Planted a few things Saturday before last. Radishes appear to take only 8 days to harvest. I'm anxious to see how the cilantro does. It takes a while to germinate, so I'm just now seeing the first sprouts. I also have very old cilantro seeds, so I may not get a very good germination rate.
