Basil Microgreens

The general process of growing microgreens is fairly simple. The steps are as follows:

1. Pre-soak seeds as specified on the packet
2. Sprinkle seeds over a tray with a 1/2" to 1" layer of moist potting mix. Press into the soil to ensure good contact.
3. Mist seeds with a spray bottle and cover to maintain moisture and block out light.
4. Keep seeds covered for the blackout period. Setting the tray inside a cupboard works well. Check seeds during the blackout period and mist as needed to keep seeds moist.
5. When the microgreens are a few inches tall or begin to live the cover, expose
   them to light, allowing the seedlings to develop and grow.
6. When microgreens look ready, harvest with a pair of scissors and enjoy!
