Microgreens
Eaten as sweet, tender seedlings, tasty, nutritious microgreens are one of the speediest crops of all. Sprinkle them onto a salad, use as a garnish on soups, or try an egg and microgreens sandwich! How to grow microgreens: Rocket, mustard, cress and kale are all suitable. Sow seeds thickly in a shallow pot of seed-raising mix. A takeaway container with drainage holes punched in the base is ideal. Lightly cover the seed with a thin layer of the seed-raising mix and gently water until the soil is thoroughly moistened. Place the container in a well-lit position, a sunny windowsill is ideal. Seedlings will start to appear within two to seven days. To harvest, snip off at ground level with scissors when plants are 3cm tall. Sow another batch straight away.
These vegetables are ready to eat in weeks, it’s the fast food that’s good for you!
