Living Greens can be grown in a similar way to mustard and cress. After many months of trialling we recommend filling trays with vermiculite, then sprinkling the seeds liberally, but not too thickly on the surface. Seed compost and garden soil are not recommended due to possible pest/disease contamination. Place the trays on a warm windowsill or in the greenhouse.
Ensure the seeds are constantly moist and as the seedlings emerge, especially during summer, mist spray or water carefully as necessary.
Cut these 'Living Seedlings' as they develop for immediate use, the seedlings can be sealed in a plastic bag in the fridge for use within 5 days.
Just like sprouting seeds and salads leaves, they are very rich in healthy nutrients, ideal for spicing up sandwiches and salads or to garnish soups. Seedlings mature quicker in the warmer, longer days of summer, and take a little longer during the depths of winter.
