Good evening Calikim. That looks absolutely delicious from the indoor garden grocery store. Breakfast, lunch and dinner full of fresh and healthy microgreens/ Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week.
I definitely need to start growing some micro greens
Chard wraps sounds good
It's good to give those who are new to eating microgreens some ideas of ways to eat them. That dinner salad was an appetizer size portion though. You should each be eating the equivalent of a whole head of lettuce or 1 – 2 pounds or probably 4-6 times what you had on that plate as far as greens and veggies went (the cheese and cooked beans don't need to be increased) just for you… if you want to keep it healthy. To stay healthy we all need FIBER WHICH WE ONLY GET FROM RAW FRUIT AND RAW VEGGIES AND TENDER GREENS – which are the microgreens and lettuce. I would have the eggs and meat once a month for a treat since they are so fatty and mucus producing and acid forming.
Looks easy but I needed coach for Microgreens….recipes, growing etc.. Helpful…Thank you.
Can you use regular Kale seeds to make microgreens?
Hi Kim! My questions have nothing to do with this video, but here goes. Are you covering your veggies at night if it goes below 30 degrees? I live in Thousand Oaks, CA. My other question is about the collard greens. I think an insect has munched on a few leaves. Can I use the organic neem spray on them? Thank you!
Great ideas to show people how versatile microgreens are. I loved seeing the juice drops fall from the orange – nice camera work, CG.
I just ordered some trays & bulk seeds so I can do microgreens! Really excited
We haven’t had a freeze here in Dallas yet, but I have my indoor garden planted under grow lights in a bedroom closet. Every morning it is such a joy to walk in and turn on the grow lights and have spring bursting forth on my shelves: lettuce, micro greens, kale, basil, dill, on and on. And most exciting of all, today my Tiny Tim tomatoes are peeking through!
How do you keep the gnats down in there? Each meal looks delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Love love love this video! I love seeing examples of exactly what you’re doing with the harvest
Is the best time to harvest micro greens after the 2 second set of leaves appear?
Thank you for the reminder about micro greens. I used to grow them then I got out of the habit of doing so. But you are absolutely right. They are easy to grow easy to maintain and packed full of flavor. I am most definitely going to grow some micro greens this year. By the way them Swiss chard wraps look delicious. I’m definitely going to try that.
"Everything's betta with feta!" Yes it is!!!!
I grabbed a 6 tier 48"x18" rack during Covid (half for grow racks, half for storage), and it was a godsend for homemade greens when the shelves were bare. Now im using to get an early jumpstart my garden, to increase my growing season. Its awesome.
Shelving tips:
1) Ive found it helpful to have 2 different shelf heights for my microgreens and potted seedlings. 12" is plenty for shallow trays of microgreen and seed starter plugs (the shelves in this vid look compatible with std 1010 trays). I ziptie my lights snug to the shelf above, to avoid wasting vertical space. 18" is great for small step-up pots eventually bound for the garden (2.5", 3", 18oz solo cups, and even 5" pots all work)
3) The seville classic shelves are great (BTW, save $$$ by ordering direct instead of thru amazon) but they often have a slightly raised lip (bottom welded) which can be annoying if you use standard shallow trays that overhang slightly, causing the middles to sag slightly. Easily fixed by unfolding a large cardboard box (2mm thick), and cutting it to fit just inside the lip … no more sagging. If you line the underside with aluminun foil, it even reflects indirect light downward to the rack below, imroving lighting efficiency. Oh, and fitted clear plastic shelf liners will help catch seed hulls, dirt, and water splatters for easy cleanup.
Last, I rigged my grow lights with a timer (I use 17 day 7 night), and rigged a silent usb fan for airflow.
