Stellaria media, or chickweed, is often considered a nuisance or just something to throw to the chickens when found outside of its native habitat (Eurasia).

WELL I’m here to tell you that you are missing out on this actually delicious plant. It’s one of my favorite spring greens to eat raw. I pile it on top of sandwiches and use it in salads. It tastes like oak leaf lettuce with a dash of sweetness similar to corn.

Think about this FREE salad ingredient next time you’re looking at a $3 bag of wilty spring mix

#stellaria media #chickweed #plantblr #eat the weeds #foraging #edible plants #you can find it in gardens and farmland most often #or any disturbed soil with some richness going on #i took this photo yesterday morning so she's OUT THERE #at least in the northeastern us #caryophyllaceae #food plants #los plantalones #farmland

(OLD OC SKETCHES) Meet Sunnabelle Von Sunnoviche, final daughter of the Sunnoviche family. Peeking from behind a window, she witnessed a wizards final spell, one that reduced the world to a wasteland. Her noble blood damned her to [HELL], but unwanting to suffer with her family, she made a deal with the devil. She now hunts in his name. The top of her head was taken by the blast on that day. The fires of her spirit have boiled her blood into a super-heated plasma.

Hello I want to say that I missed your AUs especially ice planet and biojet!!! These concepts are so well thought out and fascinating!!! I vaguely remember you rb one of my posts last year about food sources in canon and you talked a lil bit about food on ice planet in the tags I think… would love to learn more about the aforementioned AUs but I don’t even know what to ask

hello and thank you!!!

honestly possible! i cant remember now but i had a moment where i was very fixated on the biology of ice planet worms and how i could keep them as a primary source of food without giving everyone ammonia poisoning... i think i settled for a made up digestible antifreeze protein in the end but swarms of worms being heralded by the stench of piss in the air is still my favorite ice planet au concept

#ask #ice planet au #technically you can make meat rich in ammonia edible #but the process is very long and tedious #so they suck as an emergency food ration #also stinky...

How to Grow Microgreens at Home

Introduction 

Growing your own microgreens is a rewarding experience that can provide you with a consistent supply of fresh, flavorful, and nutrient-dense greens. Not only are microgreens easy to grow at home, but they are also a cost-effective way to ensure that you have access to healthy produce year-round. 

Microgreens are the young seedlings of vegetables and herbs that are harvested when they are just a few inches tall. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help boost your immune system, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation. Plus, they add a burst of flavor and color to salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and other dishes. 

Starting your own microgreens garden is an excellent way to incorporate more fresh produce into your diet while also reducing your carbon footprint. By growing your own greens at home, you can avoid the environmental costs associated with transporting food long distances and packaging it in plastic. 

In addition to being environmentally friendly and nutritious, growing microgreens is also an enjoyable hobby that can be done indoors or outdoors. Whether you have limited space or live in an apartment without access to a garden plot, you can still enjoy the benefits of gardening by starting a microgreens garden on your windowsill or balcony. 

In this blog post, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to start your own microgreens garden. We will cover everything from choosing the right container and growing medium to selecting seeds and harvesting your microgreens. By following our guide, you'll be able to grow fresh greens in as little as 7-14 days! So let's get started on creating your very own homegrown microgreens garden. 

Choosing the Right Container and Growing Medium 

When it comes to growing microgreens, choosing the right container and growing medium is crucial for the success of your garden. The container should be at least 2 inches deep and have drainage holes to prevent water-logging. You can use a variety of containers such as plastic or wooden trays, shallow pots, or even recycled containers like egg cartons or yogurt cups. 

The growing medium you choose should be lightweight, sterile, and have good water retention. This is important because microgreens have delicate roots that need oxygen to grow properly. Some good options for growing mediums include peat moss, coconut coir, or vermiculite. 

Peat moss is a popular choice for many gardeners because it is readily available and affordable. It has excellent water retention properties and provides good aeration for the roots. However, peat moss is not a sustainable resource and can contribute to environmental degradation. 

Coconut coir is an eco-friendly alternative to peat moss that is made from the fibers of coconut husks. It has similar properties to peat moss but is more sustainable and renewable. Coconut coir also has natural anti-fungal properties that help prevent diseases in your microgreens. 

Vermiculite is another option for a growing medium that has good water retention properties. It is made from expanded mica minerals and provides good aeration for the roots. However, vermiculite can be expensive compared to other options and may not be readily available in all areas. 

In addition to these growing mediums, you can also mix them together to create your own custom blend that suits your needs. For example, mixing equal parts of peat moss and vermiculite creates a well-balanced growing medium that provides both good water retention and aeration. 

Selecting the Seeds 

When it comes to selecting the right seeds for your microgreens garden, there are a few things to consider. First and foremost, it's important to choose seeds that are specifically labeled for microgreens. These seeds have been selected and treated with care to ensure that they will grow into healthy, flavorful greens that are perfect for eating. 

Some popular options for microgreen seeds include arugula, broccoli, radish, and sunflower. Each of these varieties offers its own unique flavor profile and nutritional benefits. Arugula has a spicy taste that pairs well with salads and sandwiches, while broccoli microgreens are packed with vitamins A and C. Radish microgreens add a peppery kick to any dish, and sunflower microgreens have a nutty flavor that is perfect for snacking. 

In addition to choosing the right type of seed, it's also important to consider the quantity of seeds you'll need for your container. As a general rule of thumb, you should aim to use about 1-2 tablespoons of seeds per container, depending on the size of the container. It's important not to overcrowd the seeds in your container as this can lead to poor growth and even mold. 

By carefully selecting the right type and quantity of seeds for your microgreens garden, you can ensure a bountiful harvest of fresh, nutrient-dense greens that are perfect for incorporating into your favorite meals.��

Sowing the Seeds and Watering Them 

Once you have chosen your container and growing medium, it's time to sow the seeds. The first step is to sprinkle the seeds evenly over the growing medium. Make sure that you don't overcrowd the container as this can lead to poor germination and growth. 

Next, gently press the seeds into the growing medium, but be careful not to bury them too deep. Microgreens need light to germinate, so if you cover them too much, they may not sprout. 

After sowing the seeds, it's important to water them properly. You can use a spray bottle or watering can to gently water the seeds. Be careful not to over-water them as this can cause fungal growth and rotting of the seeds. 

Keep an eye on the moisture level of your growing medium and make sure it stays moist but not waterlogged. Over-watering can also cause problems with mold growth and root rot. 

It's important to note that different types of microgreens have different requirements when it comes to seed spacing and depth, so be sure to check the instructions for your specific variety. 

By following these simple steps for sowing and watering your microgreen seeds, you'll be well on your way to a bountiful harvest of fresh greens in no time! 

Covering the Container and Placing It in a Warm, Dark Area 

After sowing your microgreen seeds, it's time to cover the container and place it in a warm, dark area. By doing this, you'll be creating a mini greenhouse that will help retain moisture and promote germination. There are several options for covering your container. You can use a lid if your container has one or plastic wrap if it doesn't. Ensure that whatever you use is transparent to allow light to penetrate through. 

Once covered, place the container in a warm and dark location such as a closet or cabinet. The ideal temperature range for most microgreens is between 60-75°F (15-24°C), so ensure that the room you choose falls within this range. Keep an eye on the seeds daily and mist them with water as needed to keep them moist. Be careful not to overwater them as this could cause mold growth. 

It's worth noting that some microgreens require different conditions during germination stages. For example, some seeds like sunflower require more light than others while others like cilantro prefer cooler temperatures around 50°F (10°C). Therefore, before starting your garden, research the specific requirements of the seeds you plan to grow. 

After a few days, depending on the variety of microgreens you're growing, you should start seeing sprouts emerge from the soil. At this point, it's time to uncover your container and move it into a sunny spot where they can receive adequate sunlight for photosynthesis. It's important to note that different varieties of microgreens require varying amounts of sunlight exposure; therefore, research each type before exposing them directly under sunlight. 

Harvesting Your Microgreens 

Harvesting your microgreens is an exciting and rewarding experience. Most microgreens will be ready to harvest in about 7-14 days, depending on the variety you choose. You can tell when they are ready by their height, which should be around 1-2 inches tall, and the development of their first set of true leaves. 

When it comes time to harvest your microgreens, use scissors or a sharp knife to cut them just above the soil line. Be sure to rinse them gently with water and pat them dry before using them in your favorite recipes. 

Growing your own microgreens is an easy and fun way to get fresh and healthy greens at home. By following our step-by-step guide, you can enjoy a steady supply of nutrient-dense greens that are perfect for salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and more. Not only will you save money by growing your own produce, but you'll also have the satisfaction of knowing exactly where your food comes from. So why not start your own microgreens garden today?

This video is terrific! Can't recommend it enough. If you're sick of dingdongs like Matt Walsh pretending they don't know what a woman is as an excuse to be a dick to trans people, give it a watch.

I like to describe this fake confusion around "the Left can't define woman" a little like how kids like to point out that tomatoes are a fruit. Yes, that is botanically true. In fact, they're the plant's berries. But kid, if they were one of the berries in your "wildberry" flavored fruit snack, you'd be disappointed, wouldn't you? And you'd be right to punch any smarmy adult who scolded you "it's not my fault you don't understand basic botany" in the box.

If you were to deep-fry a zucchini-eggplant-pepper-tomato pie, you wouldn't be lying if you sold it as a mixed berry pie at McDonald's. But there would be loads of disappointed and annoyed people who'd buy it expecting a dessert. The word fruit is used differently and means something different whether it's being used by a botanist or by a chef. TERFs pretend not to understand this.

Did you know that there's no such thing as a tree? Botanically speaking, trees are not a specific genus of plant, and can be wildly unrelated. A tree is just a very common and successful shape for plants to grow in. No one is saying there are no trees in the world; everyone knows what a tree is. It's a useful linguistic distinction, but a useless botanical one. There's no such thing as a fish, either. It's impossible to draw an ontological line around everything that is a fish without excluding some fish and including some things you didn't mean to. I feel like the only ones who would try would be, like, a flounder looking for a reason to be a dick to an octopus.

I believe in fruits and trees and fish. I believe in chairs and I believe in women. These are real things that exist in the world. Anyone who's trying to police who is and isn't a woman is just looking for an excuse to bully a group of people they don't like for political reasons.

#trans women are women #trans men are men #Matt Walsh is a charlatan #the McRatatouille is going to make me filthy rich #trans rights #there's no such thing as a vegetable either #it's a cooking term for edible plant that isn't a fruit #technically rhubarb is a vegetable #TERF logic is moon logic #Youtube

actually insane that recreational marijuana isn't legal here because a. everybody smokes regardless and b. it's fucking florida, if there's a conservative state where tons of people are guaranteed to smoke weed it's this one.

#medical marijuana is legal but only for listed conditions iirc. don't rmbr if it includes mental illness probably not #i do know a guy from temple that uses it for chronic pain and he just brings it to meetings sometimes. king. #and ofc in high school everybody vaped it and bought all the paraphenalia from the fucking gas station #and the actual weed from some guy from tampa via our lame dealer friend #it's heavily restricted for medical use too like in terms of how much they allow you to take #but like idk i know so many ancient old jews that just casually talk about doing edibles. like it's so culturally accepted here #that it's crazy to me that it's still illegal. I mean I know it's just because people are insanely racist here #And they associate weed with ooky spooky scary gang violence. But everybody is still relatively chill even if they don't want it legal #Like everyone knows a guy who smokes unless you're rich
