Planting & Growing Instructions for Heirloom / Open Pollinated Microgreens
Microgreen Planting Instructions: To grow outdoors, prepare bed as
usual, sprinkle seeds evenly and close together over the surface of the
soil, and cover lightly with soil, then water lightly daily. To grow
Microgreens indoors gather containers (seed starting flats, clean food
containers, etc.), prepare soil or seed starting mix, and place 1-2” in
containers. Sprinkle seeds evenly and thickly over soil. Lightly cover
seeds with a small amount of soil, and press soil down over seeds. Water
Microgreen seeds lightly with a mist or spray bottle, to not wash away
soil from seeds. Cover container with a transparent cover, and place
near a window (Southern facing preferable) or under fluorescent grow
lights. Microgreen seeds prefer a room temperature of 65-75ºF, and a
soil temperature of 75ºF (until germination), for fastest germination.
Germination should occur in 4-20 days (depending on variety) in proper
conditions. Can use a heating pad, grow mats, etc. for bottom heat until
germination to bring soil temperature up. Mist with water 1-2 times
daily to keep soil moist until harvest. Harvest once the first 2 or 4
leaves have grown. To harvest Microgreens, cut greens just above soil
level, rinse, and enjoy!
