After many months of trials, 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.Growing InstructionsEnsure the seeds are constantly moist and as the seedlings emerge, especially during summer, mist or water carefully as necessary.Harvesting InstructionsCut these sprouts as they develop. The seedlings can be sealed in a plastic bag in the fridge for use within 5 days.Kitchen NotesJust like sprouting seeds and salad 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.
