Indoor garden - Day 8


I harvested half of the wheatgrass last night to make juice, and cut buckwheat and sunflower for sandwiches today. The wheatgrass was surprisingly sweet. Our broccoli and kale sprouts are under the lights for the first time today. We are still waiting for the parsley, cabbage and another variety of broccoli to appear. The "green" smoothie this morning was made with water, frozen blueberries, chard and a squirt of agave.

Indoor garden - Day 5


We will be harvesting soon...The wheatgrass will be juiced and used in smoothies. The sunflowers and buckwheat will likely end up in smoothies as well.

Peas planted

Yesterday, youngest daughter and I planted peas even though the soil was still frozen in spots. We also planted broccoli, kale, parsley and cabbage seeds in vermiculite. All of these seeds were soaked and sprouted for 12 hours before planting.

The sunflower roots are plainly visible at the beginning of day two in the trays.
