With such extreme temperatures as many homesteaders experience growing basic salad stuff is challenging.
This is a huge problem already. For the whole of the summer, I had no greens growing in the summer heat. Even the hardiest of weeds got burnt by the sun.
And what an awesome post with easy-to-follow steps. I love it.
I love these different microgreens. I am craving a nice big bowl of rocket leaves with olive oil and balsamic, but the sun is just not letting me have them. It is crazy how this summer is killing almost everything, even with water. In any case, I should now start some microgreens! Thanks for the reminder. Even though the rocket and other plants (salad greens) do not want to grow, the microgreen sprouts will!
They really are the way to go for summer salad. I always moan at the start of summer when my usual greens bolt early or simply wilt away. And then I remember microgreens. I also love a huge bowl with olive oil and balsamic
That just sounds mouth-watering. I have three lonely rocket plants. I harvested some of the leaves but relief on wild rocket and some basil, with olive tapenade and feta cheese salad. But I think micro greens would have taken it to the next level.
