Planting Old Seeds for Fresh MicroGreens

  1. Maggie Oster’s Feb. 25 column for the National Garden Association at www.garden.org  (Upper South) about growing Microgreens gave me this idea.  (http://www.garden.org/regional/report/arch/inmygarden/3393).  I’ve two boxes of old and older seeds. I can’t bear to toss them. Well, maybe some on the compost pile or to the red wigglers. I won’t plant them in the garden – wasted work and space if they don’t grow. Sprouting certain varieties indoors now as micro-greens – herbs, lettuces, spring mix, peas – is an excellent opportunity. If they germinate, I’ve delicious, supernutritious greens. If the seeds aren’t viable, no loss. To the good, there’ll be less clutter in the seed boxes – more room for this year’s seeds!
