There is a new trend in growing your own food, especially the so-called 'microgreens', such as bean sprouts, radish sprouts, etc.
Today, let me share with you my experience in growing radish sprouts at home.
First, put a thin layer of soil in the flower pot, about 2-3cm thick. Then spread radish seeds on the soil surface generously. Don't worry about the density, just spread the seeds. You don't have to cover the seeds with soil, leave them on the surface, exposed. Most importantly, spray water on the seeds generously, make sure the seeds are well moistured.
The seeds will start germinating on the second day. Continue to spray water on the seeds, twice a day. Ensure the seeds have enough moisture. If twice a day is not enough, increase the frequency of spraying water.
On day 5, the radish sprouts can grow about 1-2 inches high. If you like it this way, you can already harvest the sprouts.
On day 7, the sprouts are already really tall. This is the perfect time to harvest the sprouts and enjoy the fruit of your labour.
Radish sprouts are easy to grow, minimal care needed, while it is healthy. You have full control of the sprouts from seed to maturity. It is a great choice for modern day city little farmers :-)

Day 1: Sowing the Seeds
First, put a thin layer of soil in the flower pot, about 2-3cm thick. Then spread radish seeds on the soil surface generously. Don't worry about the density, just spread the seeds. You don't have to cover the seeds with soil, leave them on the surface, exposed. Most importantly, spray water on the seeds generously, make sure the seeds are well moistured.
Day 2: Germinating
The seeds will start germinating on the second day. Continue to spray water on the seeds, twice a day. Ensure the seeds have enough moisture. If twice a day is not enough, increase the frequency of spraying water.
Day 3: Sprouting Out
Day 5: Radish Sprout
On day 5, the radish sprouts can grow about 1-2 inches high. If you like it this way, you can already harvest the sprouts.
Day 7: Fully Grown Sprouts
On day 7, the sprouts are already really tall. This is the perfect time to harvest the sprouts and enjoy the fruit of your labour.
Radish sprouts are easy to grow, minimal care needed, while it is healthy. You have full control of the sprouts from seed to maturity. It is a great choice for modern day city little farmers :-)
