Anyone Growing Edible Sprouts this Winter?
Comments (12)I just started doing this again a few weeks ago (after maybe a 30 year hiatus) I splurged on a 2-tray thing from Pinetree. It came w/10 bags of different sprouts, so used that rto justfy the $20. I tried some sprouts I've never done b4...the wheat one were the BEST. I mean, really excellent, crunchy and nutty. It's fun to let some grow out past the point where they are great to eat, & you get to see what seeds do underground...when the wheat ones had totally maxed out their energy they had beautiful big cotelydons (sp?) on one end and gorgeous roots on the other...and no seed left in the middle, just a tired out empty hull. It's so beautiful to watch these guys grow; and tasty too! Donna...See MoreAnyone else with good spring sprouting?
Comments (4)After damp nights and sunny days I'm seeing plenty of flower buds and new leaves. In the veggie garden all the peas are up - as are the sweet peas (which are poisonous by the way, but mine always bloom after the edible peas die from the heat). The first of the rhubarbs has got its nose above ground along with rows of radishes. The highlights in the flower garden are the lilacs which after many many years have finally emerged covered in buds. These are the solid white kind, I dug these up from my parents yard in Oklahoma before we sold the house. I was about to give up completely but someone told me to change the soil ph to alkaline which seems to have done the trick. I'm happy see the large redbud tree covered with flower buds, they are notorious for being hard to transplant but I just couldn't leave it at the old house. It lived for one year in a pot before finally getting planted. It seems to be handling the transition just fine. For the first time ever the loquat tree is making fruit! whether these will fill out and avoid being eaten by squirrels remains to be seen. Last year I planted an olive tree that had just gotten too big to overwinter inside anymore. Due to the mild weather this winter it has survived and is covered with flower buds. It made ONE olive way back when I first bought it as a tiny twig of a tree, hopefully this year will be different....See MoreDoes anyone know how to sprout brown rice?
Comments (5)I guess not many people on the forum know about growing rice, including me. But being curious about it I googled 'How to plant and grow rice' and several articles came up. Don't know if they will help or not. I agree that communicating to someone who has done it is better than reading about it, but here they are just in case: Here is a link that might be useful: How to plant and grow rice Google Search...See MoreAnyone seen this ???? seed sprouted inside tomato!!!
Comments (6)Couple years ago I had a tomato that started sprouting like that. Just out of curiosity, I left it in the kitchen window, and it had sprouts all over. They were actually growing pretty well, and I thought about planting it. Never did, but I bet it would have produced a nice tomato plant. I posted it on gardenweb, but can't find it now....See Morekathy3754
