[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 5 points 6 months ago (2 children) looks awesome. may i ask what you're growing there? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jaykrown@lemmy.world [S] 6 points 6 months ago (1 child) Speckled peas, one of the most ideal plants for microgreens because they are strong growers and cheap. Even at that height/age, some people don't like them because they're a bit tough, but still very edible if you chop only the top half. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago I grew pea microgreens once, and can confirm. They were a bit too stringy/tough for my liking. However, when they were still much shorter they were crisp and watery like bean sprouts and I much preferred them like that. If you haven't, cut a few early and see if you like. permalink fedilink source parent
