“So, I’ve been making my own bean sprouts for years”

I remember that! I wanted to try it and then I forgot. But you know what, that would make an excellent subject, how to grow some kind of vegetable in the dead of winter. Or you can’t grow anything outside, there could be a variety of reasons for that. Can I pencil you in?

Anyway I know Ellendra knows a whole lot about harvesting seeds. So she probably knows about how best to save them? I would appreciate being pinged, cuz I would like to know as well.

I save seeds from all my non-hybrid plants, but I just make sure they’re dry and then I put them each in baggies with what they are and the date. And then stick them in a coffee can with the year on it. Probably at least part of that is wrong LOL.

I cook a lot of Chinese type foods, ming beans. and alfalfa is great substitute for lettuce salads and sandwiches, sometimes better!
Sure, count me in! I’ve always thought of sprouts as a survival food, plus I like it and is affordable.

Plus, I grow cat grass and occasionally cat nip for Proby.
