Well, I just like to look ahead to the next season too. Still in light of all the Globull warming, I thought it was interesting that the contrary is what is actually going on.

Maybe we all need to have a bigger carbon footprint to offset the cooling? LOL

Can you use regular seeds for the microgreens? What are your top 2 favorites to use?

I use up leaf lettuces (anything I have left over from the previous season) and Arugula and Spinach and Beets (for the spicy greens).

I do a standard flat filled with seed starting mix (I like the ‘Fertilome’ brand) and after the plants start leafing out, I fertilize with a really light concoction of any organic liquid fertilizer on hand.

Of course, these are under grow lights, on for 16 off for 8, because up here there is not enough sunlight from a window to grow anything this time of year.
