For this weeks forum post you will share with the group how your microgreens grow.
You all received a microgreen growing kit in class on Saturday. Plant your basil or sunflower seeds and answer the following questions. As it will take sometime before your microgreens are ready to harvest, you may not have anything to post this week.
- Did you have any issues with the initial set-up?
- Where did you put the container once you seeded it?
- How many days did it take for your seeds to germinate?
- Did you have any issues (i.e. mold, damping off, etc.)?
- How many days after seeding did you harvest your microgreens?
- What did you do with your microgreens?
