Adventures in Microgreens

Yesterday I enlisted the help of my kids to thin out the lettuce and kale seedlings, wash and trim them, and put together a salad for lunch. They also trimmed out the extra tomato and herb seedlings. For the salad, they chopped up kale and leafy green lettuce and tossed them with the microgreens. My daughter added feta and sunflower seeds, a honey lemon dressing and tossed it up. We loved it and it felt so good to see my kids eating a super healthy, freshly picked salad. Looking forward to more of that this year.


This job required concentration.

That takes patience! Must be quite a sense of accomplishment, though, to taste that delicious salad and know what went into getting it to the table. Awesome thing for Otis and Sofia to learn.
