In keeping with my January plans of learning to grow vegetables … and figuring I should start out with a simple plan … I planted some cress seeds and grew micro cress. I used the Mr Fothergill’s Microgreens growing tray; followed the instructions and voila, micro cress for our salad. Well, OK, I only grew enough for ONE salad … one very small salad. Still, I’m doing the “I grew something edible happy-dance”!

It is still WAY to hot to go outside and work on my actual raised vegetable garden bed. I think if I did plant anything at the moment it would just wilt in the heat (I know that is how I feel about this weather). Still I’m continuing my research and learning. Watch this space … I know just enough now about growing vegetables to be dangerous 🙂

Hello, newly sprouted micro cress!
