Sprouting and Microgreens
Sprouting
is 'bench top organic vegetable gardening'. Sprouts are not only a great addition to salads and sandwiches, they are
incredibly nutritious added to fresh juices and smoothies.
Microgreens
are an exciting, colourful, gourmet alternative to sprouts. They are halfway in size between sprouts and salad mix.
Usually grown in seedling trays, they differ from sprouts in that they are grown in sunlight and harvested with scissors
when there are 2 or more true leaves; sprouts are eaten much smaller.
Open for national delivery and shop sales, the Incredible Edible Display Gardens are
now open.

When to plant Sprouts and Microgreens
Sprouting seed obey the germination guidelines of all seeds. That is, they all have a preferred temperature
range below and above which they will not germinate. Unless you have a heated house or live in North Queensland
if the night time temperature drops below the recommended temperature shown on the seed packet then usually the
seed will rot, not sprout.
Cool season favourites: alfalfa, broccoli, cabbage, fenugreek, kale, onion, radish, rocket
Warm season favourites: buckwheat, mung, soybean, sunflower
