Garden Diary Day one: Sunflower seed starting

in seeds •  3 years ago  (edited)

Ok…

I got my sunflower seeds started … soaking in paper towels since yesterday.

I deshelled one set and left the other in their shells to see if they sprout.

As you can see the deshelled Seeds are sprouting already.

I will get them into some soil as soon as the sprouts are about 1” long.

These are the seeds still in their shell.

Ahaa now I know why my sunflowers didn't show up. am doing similar to this for a walnut tree hopefully. Not allowed to even look yet, they're in the bottom of the fridge scarifying.

It’s always better to start your seeds indoors with a wet paper towel. I learned this with hemp. Now I have infinite fields of hemp growing…. Created my own carbon sink to save the planet.

Which ones taste the best ? Best nutrition ?

try sprouting broccoli seeds, very fast and nommy. Grow one in a pot and let it go to seed and you'll have millions soon.

where do you get broccoli seeds from> I tried a few sprouts and they sprouted but tasted funny, I grew them on cotton wool? I couldn't even eat them

I have loads of seeds, more than I know what to do with lol. I could send u some. I wouldn't know about growing stuff on cotton wool but it doesn't sound good. All the bits of broccoli taste good.
