Microgreens als essbare Deko Teil 3

https://blog.derbrumme.de/microgreens-als-essbare-deko-teil-3/

Clickbaitiges TL;DR: Zwei Rückschläge, ein gelöstes Problem und eine offene Frage.

Spoiler: Kokosnüsse sind nicht wasserdicht und Kokossubstrat schimmelt. Alternativen: Konservendosen, gefüllt mit Perlit.

Microgreens als essbare Deko Teil 2

Teil 2 des brummschen 2025er Sprossen-Epos: Der Vortest. Bevor ich losbastle, will ich gern wissen, ob das auch klappt wie ich mir das vorstelle. Also so prinzipiell. Nicht dass das dann schimmelt oder ausläuft oder so.

Neuer Versuch: Microgreens als Tischdeko

https://blog.derbrumme.de/microgreens-als-essbare-deko/

Sprossen sind voll cool, aber bisher scheiterte es bei uns langfristig entweder an Schimmel oder am Vertrocknen.

Daher jetzt der Plan, einen nicen Planter mit Kokosnussschalen für den Esstisch zu bauen.

Die Theorie: Sieht man’s ständig, vergisst man’s nicht. Mal sehen, ob’s diesmal klappt oder wieder im „Oh, schon vertrocknet…“-Stadium endet.

#Grocery shopping today, I was met with only #greens from the USA, so I decided to go without. As a result I was extra thrilled to discover #GoodLeaf #microgreens had been added to Made In Canada, eh! today, while I was out. Better yet, they are always in season!

I love my little indoor garden. In my isolated life, my plants are my only tactile contact with other living things; they're good for my spirits and mental health.

However, I'm not producing food in meaningful quantities. It's a joy-giving hobby, nothing more.

If anyone has successful set up indoor gardens to produce significant amounts of food, I would love to hear about what you're doing. My stress would be lower with a bit more food independence.

Microgreens, but the led lights and the phone camera wipe out the green and make this closeup look like a bouquet of small pink flowers. #gardening #microgreens #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeeds

All of the microgreen batches I've grown so far have been a single species, and generally I do prefer it that way (similar height for easy cutting, can tweak conditions and timing for particular species). But this was my first mixed greens batch, and it came out great. I think I'll do one of these every 3-4 from now on, for the sake of variety.

Growing up on the #homestead , we grew and ate a ton of #winter #squash . Some friends gifted us some #organic acorn squash from their #farm , so I decided to make some squash puree like we had when I was a kid. I topped it with mild blend #microgreens from our plant nursery. This is a very nutritious and delicious dish.

Now that outside gardening is just about done here, it's time to start up this winter's first round of microgreens. This is a batch of diakon radish, and should be ready to harvest and eat in about a week.

Good morning, Mastodon friends! The daikon radish seeds that I planted on 11/13 have germinated, and I uncovered the container and moved it to a south window. The microgreens will green up and be ready to eat in another couple of days. The pea shoots need another day or two of darkness in the warmer kitchen before they're ready to move.
I'm aiming for a little extra walking for the dogs today since it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow.
Have a safe, good day, all.

I decided this would be a good time to get back into growing microgreens, so out came my trusty carry-out food containers and coffee can lids. One bowl is pea shoots and the other is daikon radish microgreens. They'll stay in the warm kitchen until the seeds have germinated and then move into the south window in the living room. The radish ones should be ready in a week or so. The pea shoots will take a few days longer. #microgreens

Space Station Garden Report! I harvested succssful batches of microgreens yesterday: Violet Radish and Daikon Radish. I might harvest them a little earlier next time as they wound up spicier than I expected.

Today I planted two new batches: Amaranth and Cabbage. I've never grown either before. I'm really excited to see how they grow and how they taste as microgreens.

Hi everybody

I'm making this alt account to talk hobbies, as my main account is dedicated to my work on ActivityPub/GitLab I don't want to annoy people who are following me for that with unrelated things.

On this one, I may talk of anything! :D So probably: #soloroleplaying ( #dnd, #travellerrpg, #shadowrun ), #3dprinting, #digitalart ( #blender and #krita ), #DIY, #microgreens etc. I'm also very gently getting into electronics, but I'm unsure where this is going.

See ya!

This morning 's radish greens harvest was a little smaller than usual, but very flavorful. Enough for my sandwich and side salad needs, and to give a quart or so away to a friend.

I love sunflower microgreens, they're my favorite, and thanks to Mike Van Duzee's brilliant new method, I can grow them, and lots of others with almost no effort. I'll say more about it in the next post. The picture is pink because of my grow lights. #microgreens #hydroponics #gardening

Today I also planted a couple of trays of microgreen seeds. Carry-out food containers with holes punche din the bottom for drainage are perfect for this -- I put the covers on to keep moisture in while the seeds germinate and then remove the covers when the seedlings emerge and need light. I planted half a bowl of each of 4 favorites -- daikon radish (fastest growing), amaranth (beautiful), and chard and broccoli (healthiest). #microgreens
