Too cold here to harvest from last winter but we have confused plants over an early spring because the last 3 weeks have been far warmer than normal for here. |

I don't often buy sprouts so I had to remember to make a point of looking. One medium size grocery store had close to a dozen different types of sprouts, but they were all pre packaged. I have not noticed bulk sprouts in some time, but that could be because I don't go looking for them. My wife does most of the grocery shopping these days. |

Before you think that too wierd, she's been on Tramadol for years (arthritis) and it's a natural constipation reliever for dogs. Just like grass is. She's an epicure on greens is all ;-) Reallive loves Endive but I'm a little too cheap to buy it for the dog.... Warmly wierd, I may start the romaine and baby lettuce containers early and see how it goes. Worst is I lose a pack of seeds each. |

At one time I sold extra tomato and pepper plants at the spring neighborhood yard sale. the 'thinnings from initial planting always get me in trouble. I just can't throw them away. So I nurture them and then plant them and then end up with too much produce. This year I think I will offer extra tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash, beans on the neighborhood e-newsletter. Don't need money for them, free to anyone who wants them. Janet US |

The only savory things I like with peanut butter are stuffed celery or peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. I can't do warm peanut butter. For some reason it just comes back up. My mom always grew sprouts though. Not sure what she did with the bean sprouts. I know she made them. Maybe she ate them herself? For that matter, I don't know what she did with the alfalfa sprouts either. They were commonly used in sandwiches in those days but we never had sandwiches at home. When I made sprouts, my favorites were chick pea and radish. |

Go figure. My gardener requested Pad Thai for dinner. Both he and my friend thought I could buy it in a packet but I don't usually buy packet things. I do keep some boxes of mac and cheese and rice mixes but that's about it. I think scratch cooking tastes so much better. I got a recipe from my phone because I was out when he made the request. Recipe called for bean sprouts. I did find a small jar of Pad Thai sauce but the recipe on it and also the noodles both called for bean sprouts. Fred Myer had none. So I padded it out with thin strips of celery and carrot. After that, I found a three pack of made up Pad Thai at Costco. Bought it. He said mine was much better! But the Costco stuff did not have the sprouts in it. Didn't read the ingredients but it did look like it had carrots. Last batch was made with the sprouts. He loved it. I used to add bean sprouts to almost all of my stir fries and my friend did the same until they became unavailable here. I don't think I've ever eater raw bean sprouts. Have only ever had them in stir fries. |

It's all the rinsing that got me. I am home most of the time but some kinds of sprouts need to be rinsed every few hours. |

Too much rain then too many dry hot days. I got very few berries and then the leaves all turned brown. I am thinking I will pull them out of the pot and replant with cheap flower seeds, unless my gardener does it for me. |

It's not just Mexicans. When I was 13 I picked cucumbers for one day. I don't know how people can do that all day long. Back breaking work. And I saw what they did and didn't do. We had porta potties but no running water. There was a big water dispenser so you could rinse your hands but there was no soap and they really didn't allow us enough time to use the pottie. |

Before you think that too wierd, she's been on Tramadol for years (arthritis) and it's a natural constipation reliever for dogs. Just like grass is. She's an epicure on greens is all ;-) Reallive loves Endive but I'm a little too cheap to buy it for the dog.... Warmly wierd, I may start the romaine and baby lettuce containers early and see how it goes. Worst is I lose a pack of seeds each. == It feels really odd when you say that about your dog) I have been on Tramadol for arthritis for years too LOL Kindred spirits eh) |

Go figure. Way back when I was married, we made them often for a good while. Mostly to add to salads. Occasional sandwiches but we never cooked them. We never had a problem with them. I remember only about half the making details. Made in a Ball canning pint jar, cover with one layer of cheesecloth and hold that on with the jar ring. Once watered and drained, store in bottom cabinet shelf laying sideways. We did take out and water then drain often. that said, I do forget many relevant parts of the process.. - what kinds of bean we used (maybe tried different ones) - when first put in jar, maybe soak for some hours first? - how often did we change the water - how long it took until good to eat Basically, I remember almost nothing! heheh I'm going to email the X and ask her. I'm sure she knows. It was her idea in the first place and she probably still makes them. Never a food poisoning issue if you make them yourself. |

All the same plant with different spellings... because it's a transliteration from the Chinese pronounciation(s)... Chinese doesn't have an alphabet per se. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_alphabet |

All the same plant with different spellings... because it's a transliteration from the Chinese pronounciation(s)... Chinese doesn't have an alphabet per se. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_alphabet === Ok thanks |

BTW the leafy greens don't fix constipation for humans (far as I know). Dogs were not built to eat greens much so for them, it is an adjustment. They seem to know exactly how much they need and eat just that. Iowna is giving me the stink eye as her bowl has regular iceburg today. She picked every leaf out and put it beside her bowl looking for 'the good stuff' then put it all back, gave me a stink eye, and munched some iceburg.... |

BTW the leafy greens don't fix constipation for humans (far > as I know). Perhaps not, but they can help prevent it. My working hypothesis is that residual microbes on the lettuce keeps the gut flora in balance. We evolved eating raw leaves (among other things). I'm happy to cooperate with evolution.

Well, I read your govt. link but I suspect they are just trying to protect people that don't keep up with the careful prep. We made them for a few years on a regular basis and added them raw to salads. Never a problem. Oh well. |

I have no idea what yer talking about, but I've tried (unsuccessfully, I might add) to grow mung bean sprouts in a both pint and quart "wide mouth" jars (sprouting jars). I usta jes buy mung or soy sprouts at a distant Asian mrkt, when I still lived in the SFBA. I think "micro-greens" are merely different types of sprout seeds. https://tinyurl.com/y59he6yd nb |
