Coverage & Planting Details
| Coverage | This packet sows up to three and a half 10" x 20" flats. |
|---|---|
| Seed Depth | ⅛"–¼" |
| Seed Spacing | ¼"–½" |
| Thinning | Not required |
| Germination | 7–10 days |
| Start Indoors | RECOMMENDED. Sow indoors any time of year. For a continual crop, sow every 7 to 14 days. |
| Direct Sow | Not recommended. Microgreens are fragile, and outside soil makes them difficult to clean. |
| Growing & Harvesting | When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Microgreens are ready to harvest when they have cotyledons, or when the first true leaves have begun to form, depending on preference. Cool growing temperatures may slow the expected amount of days to maturity. Using scissors, cut microgreens just above the soil line when you are ready to use them. |
