Microgreens are a great choice to get all the family involved for eating and growing! You can simply sow these seeds all year round on your kitchen windowsill or in your greenhouse, providing crops for your sandwiches, salads and lunches every month! ‘Red Russian’ will provide eye-catching crops of purple-red glowing stems with mid-green foliage, that have a taste similar to mustard! This gorgeous tang is the perfect amount of heat to add to your favourite lunches. Supplied as x 1 packet of 300 seeds Sow microgreens thickly in pots or trays, on the surface of a good quality, free draining seed compost. Do NOT soak the seed prior to sowing. Water gently to settle the soil. Grow on a bright, sunny windowsill at an average temperature of 21-25C (70-75F). Do not exclude light as this aids germination. In winter, pots can be sealed inside a clear plastic bag or placed in a propagator to maintain adequate germination temperatures. Sow seed every 10 days for a continuous supply. Keep the compost reliably moist until seedlings have developed. Microgreens can be harvested from around 10 -14 days after germination, when seedlings are around 5cm (2") tall.

Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
