Wer sich die Zeit bis zum Start der Gartensaison vertreiben möchte, kann Keimsprossen oder Microgreens auf der Fensterbank anbauen. Für die Keimsprossen benötigt man eine Tüte Bio-Samen (Brokkoli, Karotten, Hafer, Radieschen oder Kresse), die in ein Keimglas gefüllt werden (gereinigtes Marmeladenglas). In den Schraubdeckel kleine Löcher bohren. In das Glas die Samen füllen (etwa zwei, drei Zentimeter hoch). Dann wässern und die Samen über Nacht einweichen. Am nächsten Tag das Wasser herauslaufen lassen und die Samen mit frischem Wasser spülen. Wasser durch die Löcher im Deckel abtropfen lassen. Je nach Art zwei- bis dreimal am Tag wiederholen. Das Gefäß auf eine helle Fensterbank stellen bei einer Raumtemperatur von 18 bis 22 Grad. Schon nach kurzer Zeit bilden sich Wurzeln und Keimblätter. Nach acht Tagen können gesunde Keimsprossen verputzet werden. Bei den Microgreens (können dieselben Sorten sein) wird erst später geerntet - nach ungefähr zwei, drei Wochen. Und auch die Anbaumethode unterscheidet sich. Dazu Anzuchterde in einen Tontopf oder eine Anzuchtschale füllen. Darauf die Biosamen streuen. Lichtkeimer bleiben auf der Erde, Dunkelkeimer werden etwas in die Erde hineingedrückt und mit Erde bedeckt. Angießen und mit Frischhaltefolie bedecken. Das Gefäß kommt ebenfalls auf eine helle Fensterbank bei 18 bis 22 Grad. Die Samen brauchen die ganze Zeit über ein feuchtes Milieu. Nach spätestens drei Wochen können die Microgreens geerntet werden.Sprossen und gesunde Microgreens ziehen: So geht'shttps://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/nutzpflanzen/Sprossen-und-Microgreens-ziehen-So-gehts,sprossen188.htmlGesunde Sprossen: Was steckt in Alfalfa, Kresse, Brokkoli?https://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/gesundheit/Gesunde-Sprossen-Was-steckt-in-Alfalfa-Kresse-Brokkoli,sprossen210.htmlRobuste Gemüsesorten: Welche Saat eignet sich?https://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/nutzpflanzen/Robuste-Gemuesesorten-Welche-Saat-eignet-sich,gemuese574.htmlDie neuste Folge von "Im Grünen Bereich" gibt es immer zuerst in der ARD Audiothek:https://1.ard.de/imgruenenbereich2 Habt Ihr Anregungen?

In this episode, the Hort Culture crew dives into the joys and challenges of growing herbs indoors during the cold season. After swapping stories about Kentucky snow days, childhood folklore, and the chaos of cabin-fevered kids, the hosts transition smoothly into practical horticulture: how to bring fresh flavors and greenery into the home when outdoor gardens are asleep.The conversation covers the best herbs for indoor growing—from Mediterranean sun-lovers like basil, rosemary, thyme, lavender, and sage, to reliable cool-season performers like parsley and cilantro, and the ever-vigorous mint and lemon balm. The hosts emphasize realistic expectations: herbs grow slower indoors, flavors can be milder, and supplemental lighting is often essential. They explain how to choose the right pot sizes, avoid moisture‐retaining soils, fertilize lightly, and select the brightest window available (while watching out for drafts).Listeners get guidance on starting seeds indoors, preventing leggy seedlings with close grow lights, and even strengthening plants through airflow or the classic “pet your seedlings” method. Microgreens also make an appearance as a fast, rewarding winter crop.The episode wraps with encouragement: don't be too hard on yourself, try different methods, and remember you can always snag a starter plant or a cutting from a friend. Indoor herbs bring freshness, flavor, and a bit of mental sunshine to the darkest winter days.Growing herbs indoors adds flavor, saves moneyGrowing Herbs IndoorsIndoor HerbsCulinary HerbsQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

Jessi Ricci  - New Life Greens On Being Present: "It's definitely life changing when you put your phone down for a meal." In the mad rush that is our world, we often take for granted some important things.  Some of those things are nutrition, flavor, time spent with friends enjoying a great meal.  Celebrating the gift of life that we have instead of just rushing through it. Jessi Ricci started New Life Greens, partly as a way to help people enjoy life.  In the food they eat and the people they share the experience with.  At only 19 years old, she is already a successful entrepreneur. In this inspiring conversation, Jessi Ricci opens up about how her dream of becoming an environmental science teacher at UW Madison took an unexpected detour when a part-time job at an aquaponic farm introduced her to the world of microgreens. From those first nervous meetings with chefs, armed with living trays of fresh greens, to building relationships with supportive mentors and her own family, Jessi Ricci reveals how authenticity, faith, and hustle fueled her success. Listen as Jessi details what she has learned and how she has made New Life Greens a success. Enjoy!

And I really do not feel like I'm pushy. I just really believe in my product, and I think it speaks for itself. Like, I don't need to talk to them. I can leave them these microgreens, and they speak for themselves. So I'll come in. Jessi Ricci [00:00:19]: And bring my price sheets and everything and a live tray of greens. Like an alive plant of greens, some cut product and. And talk to them. Just show it to them, have them eat it. And they're like, whoa, this is so flavorful.

So, Jessi, how is it going today? Jessi Ricci [00:01:00]: I am doing great. How are you? James Kademan [00:01:02]: I am doing well. I'm in green. Jessi Ricci [00:01:04]: I know. I love that you're in green. I always wear green. James Kademan [00:01:07]: So you really. Jessi Ricci [00:01:08]: Yep. James Kademan [00:01:09]: That's cool. Is nature of the business. Right. Jessi Ricci [00:01:10]: But I love that you're in green, too. James Kademan [00:01:11]: Oh, thank you. Tell us the story. What is New Life Greens? Jessi Ricci [00:01:14]: Yeah. So New Life Greens is a microgreens farm based in Verona, Wisconsin, and we distribute just to the greater Madison area. And we focus on distribution to chefs, which is what kind of sets us apart. We grow specialty microgreens with chefs in mind. James Kademan [00:01:32]: All right, now I'm going to play dumb. Jessi Ricci [00:01:34]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:35]: Or maybe I am. Whatever. What is a microgreen? Jessi Ricci [00:01:38]: That's not dumb. I did not know what a microgreen before I started my business. So you. James Kademan [00:01:44]: Did you say when you started your business? Jessi Ricci [00:01:45]: No, before. I did not know before I started my business. James Kademan [00:01:49]: All right. Jessi Ricci [00:01:51]: Yeah. I still don't know. James Kademan [00:01:53]: These things just ship up and I sell them and. What? Jessi Ricci [00:01:56]: Yeah, yeah. The textbook definition of a microgreen is that it is a young seedling of an edible flower, vegetable or herb. So if you. Do you have a garden? James Kademan [00:02:08]: I'm going to say yes. But I mean, it's. Jessi Ricci [00:02:11]: Do you start your own plant starts or no, it's fine if you don't. James Kademan [00:02:15]: Tomatoes, you do Okay. I grow things that are very easy to grow. We're talking rhubarb, tomatoes, cucumbers, stuff that you could probably light the entire world on fire and they would still grow. Jessi Ricci [00:02:25]: Yes. James Kademan [00:02:26]: That's what my skill set is. Jessi Ricci [00:02:28]: It's funny that that's the vegetable that you said, because tomatoes are part of the nightshade family, so they actually are deadly in microgreen form. James Kademan [00:02:35]: Really? Jessi Ricci [00:02:36]: Yes, because they are. They like. Well, it's a whole thing. But basically, if you think of your garden and your plant starts, if you're starting like a pea pod or a cantaloupe or what's another one? Radishes, that little start, that's a couple inches, it's what is what is technically classified as a microgreen, just so it' easier to, like, envision. Usually they're like the size of a blade of grass. And since they are microgreen and they're harvested before they actually produce fruits and before they run out of nutrients in their seed and start using from the soil, they are extremely nutrient dense. So that's kind of the appeal from the consumer. But chefs really don't care about the nutrition. Jessi Ricci [00:03:15]: They just care that they are really beautiful. They're very colorful and flavorful. So they're a great way to garnish. So a lot of high end restaurants will garnish their dishes with them. But I do partner with some restaurants, like Settled Down Tavern, who puts it in a burger, or Youngblood who puts it on a hot dog. But typically they're used as more of like a fancy garnish. James Kademan [00:03:34]: All right. Jessi Ricci [00:03:35]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:03:35]: So how do you get into the microgreen business? Jessi Ricci [00:03:38]: Yeah, you know, I was trying to think of. I knew you probably would ask this, so I was trying to think of my answer for this, and it's really confusing. I mean, if you look back, because I started my business in high school. I'm 19 right now. So if you look back back in your high school, I'm sure, you know, it's totally a blur. And even though it was just a few years, for me, high school was totally a blur. I started my business kind of by accident in a way, actually. So all of high school, I always dreamed to go to UW Madison, be an environmental science teacher, or go to UW Madison. Jessi Ricci [00:04:15]: I said, go to UW Madison, be an environmental science teacher, be in the band. And so my whole high school was just. My whole high school career was filled with trying to accomplish that dream. So I was 4.0 student. I joined all the clubs. I was in band. I joined a sport just to make my application look better. And kind of like the final seal of that was me applying to be a youth apprentice my senior year to make my college application look better, which I did not go to college. Jessi Ricci [00:04:41]: I Don't know if you. I did. I would be in college right now. I would be in class right now. So I'm not there. Jessi Ricci [00:04:50]: Yeah. So everything I did was with that goal in mind. And the job in which I started my business out of was literally. I got the job because I wanted my application to look better. So I got a job at an aquaponic farm in Paoli, Wisconsin, which is definitely the up and booming little area near Madison, at Clean Fresh Food. And they provided an array of products to restaurants. When I started working for them, they only had one restaurant client, but it filled up, like, a third of their capacity. And so I started working there, and I was thinking, you know, this is kind of. Jessi Ricci [00:05:24]: They grow all year round, which is really environmentally friendly. So I was thinking, this will look so good on my application for UW Madison. I'm gonna be a part of this farm who has really great values. And I thought it would really set me apart. Little did I know. I mean, it set me apart so much that I'm not going there. Jessi Ricci [00:05:43]: Yeah. So this farm was the hub for my business. The owner of the farm, Mike Knight, helped me incubate my business. It all started out just with me. My dad always raised me to have, like, a strong work ethic, and so there wasn't that much work for me to do at the farm. There was one other. I had one other co worker and me, and it was just us two, and he worked in the mornings, and I worked, like, at the end of the school day, and so I never saw him. So I would show up to the greenhouse, unlock the door, and I was all alone, and I would just kind of find things to do, like organize or do whatever. Jessi Ricci [00:06:20]: But my dad, like, just knowing him, I could never sit down. I, like, when I was working, I was working, and I didn't have anyone watching over me, so. So I could have done whatever, but this, like, strong work ethic of mine ended up with me reaching out to the owner. And, I mean, I. I love this guy. He is like my business mentor. He's an amazing guy.

Walk a 200-year-old market with us and meet the people who turn fields, hives, herds, and ovens into food that actually lasts and tastes like home. This is a guided tour of the Peterborough Farmers' Market, where stories of craft and community sit behind every jar, loaf, and bundle of greens.We start with why local often means smarter value: lettuce that keeps five weeks, Brussels sprouts that last longer on the stalk, and produce picked midweek and sold on Saturday for maximum freshness. From there, we stop by a second-generation beekeeper for raw and pasteurized honey, beeswax candles, and a primer on basswood's citrusy honey versus buckwheat's molasses-like depth. An emu farmer shares how emu oil supports sore joints and skin, and a small-batch cheesemaker walks us through curds, flavoured cheddars, and bold 10-year wheels made by hand.Textiles take center stage with alpaca fiber: how grading works, why alpaca socks wick and warm without itch, and how felted dryer balls cut static and drying time without chemicals. We taste our way through deep-fried pierogies in classic potato cheese, roasted cabbage and onion, and truffle-parmesan, then explore dedicated gluten-free baking—from pies and loaves to freezer-ready lasagna. Microgreens growers harvest live for you at the stall, offering sunflower, radish, broccoli, and mixes that elevate salads, wraps, burgers, and soups with serious nutrients and shelf life. Even pets get a seat at the table with single-ingredient dehydrated treats like beef lung, tendons, and chicken feet sourced from inspected farms.Along the way, we highlight how markets launch businesses, build trust, and keep dollars close to home. You hear the practical tips—how to store stalk sprouts, how to pair maple-infused cheddars, how to use microgreens beyond salads—and the bigger takeaway: buying local isn't a luxury; it's a resilient, flavorful way to eat and live.

Sonja Troxler kam einst als Volontärin auf eine Farm in Ydby, Nordjütland und blieb. Die 41-Jährige verliebte sich in die raue Schönheit Dänemarks, in die Menschen und das einfache Leben. Aus einem spontanen Abenteuer wurde ein fester Platz im Alltag zwischen Fjord, Kuhweide und Dorfgemeinschaft. Sonja Troxler aus Strengelbach (AG) arbeitete früher an der Kunstschule und später als Schuhmacherin für orthopädische Schuhe. Doch sie sehnte sich nach Veränderung: «Ich wollte mehr in die Natur, mehr Handarbeit, mehr Eigenständigkeit». Heute lebt sie in Ydby, Nordjütland und arbeitet auf einer Farm. Sie pflegt den grossen Garten samt Kartoffelacker, reinigt Ferienwohnungen für die Gäste und bringt Farbe an die Wände, wenn etwas gestrichen werden muss: «Ich liebe die Abwechslung. Jeder Tag ist anders.» Neben ihrer Arbeit auf der Farm zieht Sonja Troxler ihre eigenen Biosprossen wie Microgreens, trocknet Kräuter für Tee und gestaltet handgedruckte Karten: «Ich möchte meine eigenen Produkte anbieten in einem Verkaufsstand.» Ein kleines «Hoflädeli», wie man in der Schweiz sagt. «Dänisch zu sprechen, macht vieles leichter» Sonja Troxler besucht zweimal pro Woche die Sprachschule im Ort: «Es ist sehr wichtig, die Sprache zu verstehen, um mit den Einheimischen in Kontakt zu kommen.» Inzwischen hat sie Freundschaften geknüpft und fühlt sich angekommen in Ydby.

Are you tired of arguing about climate change with your uncle, or your co-worker, or that weird person online?Welcome to the club. Now, if you really want to keep banging your head on that wall, I'm not here to stop you, but I am here to try and give you some facts that might help - because even though you are almost certainly not going to convince those people, it is often worth trying to combat some of that misinformation.You are probably not going to convince the guy who thinks that all scientists are evil and funded by, like, solar - but that's not really why we do it. Misinformation is fricking annoying, and it spreads four times faster than facts. But most importantly, it also stops us doing what we need to do to stop the planet heating up and boiling the oceans. Every fraction of a degree makes a difference. So today, for this episode of Microgreens, I thought I would talk about some of the myths I see quite often in my comment section, parroted by climate change deniers - but also how you can talk about things like climate change a little bit more effectively.Let's talk about: The term 'climate change denier'How the scientific process works and how to know who to trustHow and why climate change became so politicisedHow fossil fuel companies hid the evidence of climate changeThe various myths and why they are falseFind our full podcast via the website here: https://www.nowthatswhaticall.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nowthatswhaticallgreen/You can follow me on socials on the below accounts.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/briannemwest/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briannemwestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannemwest/For our latest big project, find out more about Incrediballs here: https://incrediballs.com/
