Nutrient-Dense Food In Just 10 Days (Even In Winter)




Summer is over, fall is here... and ready or not, winter is just around the corner. Summer gardens have been put to bed, fall gardens are in full swing, and now gardeners everywhere are thinking about hanging up the shovel and throwing in the trowel, so to speak.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, accuweather.com, and many other weather forecasters nationwide, the United States seems to be in for a rough, cold winter ahead. While summerlike temperatures ushered in the start of fall, cold weather and snow is quickly following on its footsteps. Below-average temperatures are predicted for over two-thirds of the country. And in some areas, like the northern Plains and in the Rockies, bitterly cold temperatures and above-average snowfall conditions are predicted. With those kinds of dire predictions, I can hardly wait for spring to arrive again.

I don't know if you're like me, but I tend to get a little antsy in the wintertime. I can't get outside as often to work in my garden, and I am not really the type to sit around and watch TV or work a puzzle when it's cold outside. What can I say? I like to play in the dirt.

I've found a great way to continue my gardening hobby in the winter – even in the coldest, snowiest weather you could imagine. Yes, you can still garden in the snow. Here's my secret: I grow microgreens. Indoors. Even in the dead of winter.

Just what are microgreens?

Microgreens aren't anything complicated or mystical. They're simply tiny, young, and tender versions of edible plants we enjoy eating anyway. Microgreens are greens, lettuces, and herbs, like arugula, basil, kale, and cilantro that are harvested in just a few days or weeks, when they are approximately one to two inches tall. Almost any lettuce, salad green, or herb can be grown and eaten as a microgreen.

Microgreens might be tiny, but they are quickly becoming a huge trend. They are popular with gardeners, foodies, and cooks. They're easy to grow indoors, nearly impossible to mess up, and they are packed with vitamins and nutrients. Best of all, they pack a delicious punch you just won't believe until you try them.

Armed with seeds and just a few basic materials, you can grow tray after tray after tray of healthy and delicious microgreens inside this winter... for just pennies on the dollar. It's a great way to continue feeding your family fresh greens all winter, long after the summer and fall gardens have gone to bed for the winter.

Not to mention, growing microgreens is a great indoor hobby that gardeners, families, and kids love. If you're a gardener like me that just can't stand to be trapped indoors without a gardening project this winter, you owe it to yourself to give microgreens a try.
