How to grow Nasurtium microgreens
- Soak the nasturtium seeds in warm water for about 4-8 hours. This will allow the seed to draw in as much water as possible to begin the germination process.
- Prepare the soil bed by moistening and tamping it (making it level). Distribute the seeds evenly over the surface and cover with a thin layer of soil, just as you do for peas.
- Mist regularly and place under a grow light when seedlings emerge through the soil layer.
- Allow enough time for nasturtium micro seedlings to produce 2 to 4 leaves before harvest.
Additionally, you'll want to taste your vegetables as they grow, to gauge changes in flavor as they mature and determine when you like them best, both in flavor and appearance.
It's a good way to determine the best time for upcoming harvests.
SUGGESTIONS
Nasturtium microgreens do not grow easily in hydroponic media. It is possible, although very difficult.
