Live seed trays for windowsill crops. From a farm in Suffolk, where the appetite for microgreens isn’t huge, we’re still getting used to humous. To farm them well you need perfect conditions (like an indoor farm) and shops that want a small amount but every few days. So we’re taking it back a step, making the growing a joint effort and sending seeds just as they start to move. Sounds like a cop-out and we’re not suggesting doing this with pigs but microgreens grow indoors all year round and don’t stay fresh for long..

We sow it, You grow it
Seeds are primed, rinsed and sown first for microgreens to keep the high density crop healthy. When they land on the doormat the lid from the package can be torn off so the greens can grow. They won’t want light straight away so the seed card can rest on top for a few more days so the seedlings grow taller and stronger. usually a week later the tray can start to be cropped.
Diverse plant selection
We sow different greens each month, so each box has a surprise selection of three. Peashoots, Radish and Brassicas are popular as they grow well, some of others grow a little slower or could be thinner more fragrant crop. Almost any edible plant is a microgreen if it’s cropped small when it contains more flavour. With the growth cycle so short a small space can become quite productive.
Grow them bigger
It doesn’t have to stop at microgreens, the seedlings can be repotted if you want them to mature and fill gaps in the garden.

It's dinner for one with the dimmer lights on, but I'm adding a touch
