RELAX. YOU ORANGE IN THIS ALONE
WOODEN CONTAINER AND LEAK GUARD
Use the decorative wooden container with the leak guard to keep surfaces clean
and dry.
PREP GROWING MEDIA
Place soil disks in your wooden container with leak guarding place. Add
water a little at a time until you soil has fully expanded. Even out in your
planter, saving a little to cover seeds after planting.
PLANT SEEDS
Make holes one inch apart and 1/2 inch deep. Plant 2 seeds per hole. Cover
with a thin layer of growing media and pat lightly to secure. Place in a warm
location and wait for germination (~ 1 week). (You can plant a mix of
different seeds in the container
WATER GENTLY
Water sprouts gently every 1-2 days. or whenever the soil feels dry one
inch below the surface.
MONITO RHEAT, LIGHT,
MOISTURE
Once seeds have germinated move to a bright sunny spot. (4+ hours of direct
sunlight.)
If your seedlings grow thin and weak they are not getting enough light. You’ll
know they are in the right spot when you see sturdy stems and medium-dark
green leaves. Keep moist but never soaking wet.
THIN
Make room for vigorous growth by cutting back weaker sprouts. Use sharp
scissors to cut off the leaves of under performing sprouts. Eat your cuttings!
Try sprinkling on avocado toast.
HARVEST
Mature greens will be ready to harvest in 4-8 weeks. When the leaves are 2-3
inches long they are ready to harvest. (Younger leaves are mild, older leaves
have a stronger, tart flavor). Harvest outer leaves by pinching or cutting
using sharp scissors.
Let young, inner leaves continue to grow and harvest in this method
continuously.
A simple process to ensure every green smoothie is a happy smoothie.
- Thoroughly wash greens (and other fruits and veggies).
- Put 2 cups (tightly packed) of greens in blender.
- Add 2 cups of water and blend until smooth. (Can substitute in other liquids like juice, coconut water, or nut milks. Watch for added sugars, fats and calories).
- Add 3 cups of fruit (and veggies) and blend again until smooth. If you are new to green smoothies try starting out with fruits in the same color family. They will often have complimentary flavors that will blend well together. (i.e. (pineapple, mango, banana); (blueberries, strawberries, cherries); (nectarines, cantaloupe, carrots)).
Enjoy now, or store for later. Store in an airtight container. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime to minimize oxidization (turning brown). Drink or freeze within 24 hours.
