 There’s nothing better than having access to fresh, nutrient-dense salad greens that practically grow themselves, right?

I can already hear you saying, “Yeah, that’d be nice, if they existed…”

Well, they do, and they’re called microgreens.

Practically any plant can be grown as a microgreens, which is just the even-younger cousin of baby greens. Typically harvested around 8-20 days after planting, microgreens are the quickest turnaround crop you’ll ever grow in your garden.

Today, we’ll be growing lettuce or salad mix microgreens, which I consider one of the most basic types of microgreens you can grow, making them perfect for a beginner.
