That was two years ago.
We planted one, maybe two plants. So we had heaps of leftover seeds.
I learned from Making It: Radical Home Ec for a Post-Consumer World that you can grow broccoli as a micro green. Basically you plant a whole bunch of seeds really close together, wait until they've got four or more leaves, and then cut them with shears and toss then in your salad.
The other side isn't empty--those seeds were from a packet that didn't sprout. |
So not much to lose.
You can do this with other seeds, as I recall from the book, but I don't remember which ones. Anyway, it's fun and easy, and it's nice to have something growing on the windowsill.
Lovely lighting on the pic!
