Growing crops for own consumption is difficult when gardening space is limited. But, I found that growing microgreens or sprouts frees me from finding space for the roots of vegetables to stretch deep and wide.
Though little in size, microgreens are highly nutritious. That is why many call them superfood!
Interestingly, microgreens are economical to grow. You don't need a lot of tools, supplies or skills to do so.
Nowadays there are already suppliers in our own local market selling the proper seeds, trays and tools needed to grow them.
Just keep watering the sprouts to ensure that they stay moist all the time.
Beans are sprouted in the dark by keeping them covered after soaking.
Once sprouted, you can harvest them anytime - at any stage of growth - you wish :D
The beans in the pictures uploaded in this post are labelled as 'creeping beans' and they just need about three days (including soaking time) to reach the microgreen stage - grow one set of true leaves.
Happy discovering new greeneries and greens to grow!
