Happibun's Seed and bean sprouter garden

Created on Tuesday, 12 Aug 08

Yeah, well I’m going to count my seed sprouter as a garden, I grow lots of stuff in it, and I can use this as a germination log for the different things I try and as a recipe place.

Om nom nom nom… (as Bunlett would say).

I’m starting to think more seriously about this now for the winter. Looks like these are the same kind of jars as yours:

I’m just wondering if my kitchen is the right place to do it though. It’s not a very bright room – how much light do yours get? Is your windowsill sunny (if there is any I mean)?

Yes Linda Mae, they look identical. I expect that it is the same company, but repackaged.

The window sill I have mine on is North facing, so the sprouters don’t get any direct sunlight even when the sun decides to show. I think that the temperature is more important, at around 18 to 20 degrees C being ideal. Too cold, and the sprouts are likely to go mouldy.

Sorry it has taken me a while to reply, my computer has been off line for the last week.

Thanks – yes so light might be ok. I’m going to leave the thermometer in there for a while and keep checking. Compared to the rest of the house I think it’s fairly warm.

Hope your computer behaves itself from now – we are in the process of changing internet provider and I have fingers crossed it goes smoothly.
