Ever since my multiple failures at cold-frame temperature control (read: crispy fried kale plants, and not in the good, tasty way), I've been sprouting my own greens.
Instead of beating my brown-thumb against the wall when my outdoor crops failed (for the 2nd time), I re-evaluated my purpose in nurturing cold-frame greens: having greens throughout the winter.
Now, my winter CSA provides leeks and cabbage, but that's about it as far as green veggies go. So, in the interest of year-round veggies, I've begun sprouting my own micro-greens at home.
