Sprouting

I’ve been enjoying sprouts all winter for fresh greens. Now that spring is here I

Garbanzo sprouts

have taken to sprouting outdoors. Start with a pot almost filled with soil.  Place a good amount of seeds in the planter and cover with more soil. Bigger the seeds the more soil. Generally soil to a depth of 3 times the diameter of the seeds. Water and then let nature take its course. I have been enjoying pea shoots for weeks now. I’ll have garbanzo bean sprouts and fresh pea shoots for dinner tonight.
