New Favorite Gift

Ever since Grandma Kathie sent Molly a micro greens growing kit for Christmas, I have been giving the same kits to other folks in my life.

I remember begin intrigued by Ms. Gavin's micro greens set-up in the Library during the Winter of 2019, shortly before her retirement. Our set-up is a different one, without a grow light, and with only one rectangular growing tray. It comes with three seed quilts which we grow one at a time. The entire cycle is about ten days, and the harvested greens last in the fridge on a moist paper towel for easily two weeks.

I recently ordered additional seed quilts for our kit. Apart from the Super Salad Mix and the Spicy Daikon Radish, which we've already enjoyed, I chose from this list:

Hearty Broccoli
Refreshing Cabbage
Energizing Kale
Zesty Mix
Sweet Wheatgrass
Earthy Clover
Fragrant Fenugeek
Hot Wasabi Mustard

The greens are a tasty addition to bagels and lox, omelets or scrambled eggs in street tortillas, sandwiches and soups.

I am becoming the Johnny Appleseed of micro greens kits!
