As far as what to grow, choices are endless. You can plant a single variety of greens or a mix. Let the little ones help you choose. Depending on the depth, you can also plant radishes and carrots. Or how about strawberries? Line a colander with coffee filters to keep soil in and allow good drainage. Or use a plastic baggy and poke holes in it for drainage Tape coffee filters/baggies if necessary to adhere to colander.. Pour soil in 3/4 of the way up. Tamp down to smooth. Water gently but thoroughly. Sprinkle seeds evenly over surface. You can sprinkle on a good amount of seeds if using lettuces. If using carrots or radishes, do less since they need room to grow under the top soil. Pour a tiny bit of soil on top of seeds, just enough to cover. Tamp down gently. Add label and date. You can simply tape the seed packet on a popsicle stick. Place in sunny spot. Outside or in – depending upon weather. If outside and it’s raining a lot bring it in. Water as needed. The first few days you won’t have to water. Keep evenly moist but not soggy. Watch closely — in a week or so you’ll see all those tiny seeds sprouting. Some varieties of lettuces and radishes are ready to eat in 3 weeks For the lettuce garden, as the greens grow, cut at soil level. New growth appears in a few days. Waste not want not! Even if you don’t grow a colander garden, you can grow lettuce from cores! Best kinds to use are romaine and leaf lettuces. Place a 1-2 inch lettuce stem in a shallow bowl with half an inch of water, ensuring the leaves remain above water. Set it on a sunny windowsill, changing the water every 2 days to prevent rot. Leaves will emerge in days. This works for celery, too! ***** Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
