Hi Kazz I will eventually grow most of them in my mini greenhouse on a west facing wall.

...but at the moment it is too dull and cold so I have some in the spare bedroom which has good light and some on the kitchen windowsill . On a bright day I pop them out in the mini greenhouse and bring them back in at night.

I am planting radish/celery/spinach leaves today to eat in 2 or 3 weeks time.

Re: Growing Micro Greens

I am really pleased with the microgreens a great addition to my salads . My favourites are the pea shoots (below) and radish and broccoli leaves.

The latest lot of peas only took 2 weeks to reach eating size now it is lighter and warmer, they are in compost which I am finding better than the moist pads.

Pea shoots almost ready to eat...

They look very healthy Meg, are you growing them indoors or in your greenhouse?
