Default Re: Sprouts three ways!

My sprouts from Zooplus are still doing well. I've been cutting them back and letting them regrow so I have a constant supply .

I went to the garden centre today and I managed to find mini terracotta pots and saucers. I got two teeny pots and two small ones and their saucer equivalents. They were so cheap as well (probably cost about £3 for 4 pots and 4 saucers).

Glad you found some teeny pots & saucers chesca, have you decided what to grow in them yet? I'm sure LJ will really enjoy some pots of sprouts

I started some buckwheat and they look ready but it's only been 24 hours since I put them in the sprout jar, is this ok? Normally they take 2-3 days and it's not really been sunny here so I wouldn't have expected them to grow so quick!

Mine are the same! It's just the time of year, it may not feel like summer (well not here anyway!) but the warmer day & night temp really speeds things up.

Looks delicious
The size is perfect, have you tried using the paper clip icon to embed them?

yes but they're upside down lol, but I see they are still upside down :S They seem to be the right way up on one thing and the wrong way up on another which I don't understand. Hopefully I can fix it Glad you think they look nice though

Yay they're not upside down anymore

The joys of technology
They're the right way up on my computer but upside down on my ipad, not sure that's fixable!
They're making me hungry either way
