Why You Should be Sprouting Sprouts

Sprouts

I have come to the realization that I really can’t grow vegetables.  Oh, I can grow them, the problem is that when they are in their peak production – August and September – I have gone back to school.

And once I am back at school, I am simply too tired and too busy to worry about veggies.  It’s all I can do to harvest my herbs.

But I like the idea of eating food that I have grown.  I especially like the idea of eating food that I have grown without dirt, bugs, or weeds.

Look what I grew!  For the complete how-to’s, here is my original sprouting post. 

 

 

This will be my entry for Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum!

given that I have about zero inches of space, I can't grow anything either. And I especially dont' care for bugs or weeds. So sprouts? Plenty ideal.

I missed that post...don't think I was online yet. I am totally doing this, Pam!

I really need to try this. My husband loves sprouts and I am always reluctant to buy them because we never use them up before they get icky.

Very clever. A miniature veggie patch in a jar :-)

Well, since my potted herbs are pretty much bust, maybe I'll try sprouts next.

I like this idea Pam! I think I might copy you and grow my own sprouts. Very fun ~ very healthy!

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

I have been wanting to try growing my own sprouts; it sounds like fun.

Good Morning, Pam,
That's exactly why we didn't keep our garden! About the time I was supposed to be canning and freezing, I was putting up bulletin boards and writing lesson plans!

My hubby likes sprouts on his salads...we will have to try this.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. ~Natalie

Can't you just grow them on one of those chia pets? ha ha

Very cool idea, I didn't know you could grow them that way. Actually, I didn't have any idea of how to grow them.

weeds are the worst. i'd much rather eat foods that look like weeds rather than pull them out of the ground every other day. :)

This is so cool! I'm headed to read your other post now. Thanks!
