This is FUN. Living in London with a little garden and knowing lots of people who want to grow but don’t have outdoor space I’m always thinking of ways that everyone can get growing something to eat. You don’t have to be self sufficient for growing food to be worth it. The fun in the project, the process, the learning and the harvest can be achieved in the smallest spaces.

Microgreens are packed with nutrients, flavour, look great and grow so fast and you can grow them in practically anything, but there is something especially pleasing about these little tins lined up on the windowsill.

Here I’ve grown -
Broccoli
Cress
Pink kale
Pak Choi
Radish Sango

I have been asked many times about what to do in the garden each month, when to start seeds, what’s good for each season - so I’m really excited to say I am launching a platform where people can grow along with me. I’ll be sharing what I’m sowing, growing, harvesting and eating as well as fun new projects and for all those who’ve been after more audio content, there will be audio versions of some of the content too. This is designed to complement my book and is initially only available to be people who’ve preordered (thank you so much to everyone who already has). If youve preordered my book send me a DM for a discount code ☺️. You can join the waitlist now and the first content is going live next weekend it includes a full in depth guide to growing microgreens and what I’m doing in the garden in Feb.

Link in bio to preorder my book ☺️

🤩Microgreens are known to contain 4 to 40X more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than their mature counterparts! (Nutrient analysis conducted by The Department of Nutrition and Food Science at the University Of Maryland)

1️⃣Fill a tray with about an inch of growing medium (we use coconut coir and worm castings). Sow and spread seeds evenly.

2️⃣Press the seeds down with your hand and mist them with water. Soil should not be soggy, but damp. ✳️OPTIONAL: Adding weight keep seeds in contact with soil, retain moisture, and assist in even germination. This also promotes strong, healthy stems, and roots. You can use canned food, bricks, or sandbags as weight. The bottles of wine used each weigh 3.5 pounds. Anywhere from 3-7 pounds works. The weight is beneficial for certain seeds such as sunflower, pea, kale, cabbage, (most brassicas), chard, beet, cilantro, and basil.

3️⃣Place trays in the dark until seeds germinate. Keep them covered with another tray for two to three days to block the light. The blackout period elongates their stems giving you more harvest while making it easier to gather them. Place trays on a south-facing windowsill (6+ hours of daylight) or under grow lights (12 hours daily) keeping trays 6-12” from it. Ensure proper ventilation as stagnant air can increase the risk of mold growth.

4️⃣Mist trays 1-2X daily till seeds sprout or when soil looks and or feels dry. When stems and leaves appear, continue misting as needed. We start bottom watering after the blackout period or when the roots are nearly reaching the bottom tray. About 1 cup of water is sufficient for 13x9 trays. Water as needed when trays feel light in weight or when the soil feels dry. Drain excess water not absorbed by the soil.

5️⃣After the emergence and expansion of the cotyledons or seed leaves, they’re ready for harvesting, however, you may wait till true leaves appear. We usually harvest when they’re around two inches tall, but are best harvested before their true leaves appear as they contain the most nutrients during this stage. Herb microgreens develop their aroma and flavor more as true leaves form.
