Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I do them EXACTLY as I showed in my video-I throw the seeds on some soil (or coir, etc), cover them with the pie plate, put a dishcloth over them until the top pie plate gets lifted up by the mighty lil booger, then I take off the top plate and leave them in room light, room temp, until their little " hats " fall off (sometimes you need to pick the hats off), then just snip them and eat them. They should be ready for you to at least taste them already-I often don't wait for the hat to fall off, lol Sent from my iPad > I now know how to sprout them, but I don't know what to do with the nighttime comes. Do I leave the humidity dome on (can I take it off for the remainder of the sprouting?). Do any of you (when you go to bed at night), do you cover them, or dome them, or just leave them out? > > Once I know the answers, I can then continue on my sunflower adventure. > > Thanks much, Melody > > > > > TODAY(Beta) • Powered by Yahoo! > Women feel guilty for not doing chores > Females work more hours and spend more time with their kids than in years past, says a study. > Privacy Policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 L I have to show you how my sunnies are doing. They are GROWING. I am so thrilled. Thanks very much Here's the video of how they look right now. And I have to compliment you on your choice in music. I have a friend who is depressed. I put your sunflower video on her FB wall. I told her " close your eyes and listen to this Happy Music " . She does this when she feels down. Thanks very much.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 You saw my sunnies and pea shoots right? They are sprouting FINALLY. I did the watering thing and that did the trick. No more misting. But it's getting late and by 10 p.m I'm done for the night. Can I leave them on top of my stove where they have been greening up all day long? Do I need to shut the light or should they be greening up all night too? I think wrote that she turns the light off but I want to make sure. And do I cover them? That's what I really want to know.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 HI Carolyn: I am experimenting with pie plates, regular plates, containers with holes, etc. I am noticing one thing. Sunnies take a LONG time to grow. And so do my pea shoots. Good Lord, the difference between these and my 3 part salad mix is like day and night. It's a good thing I love the taste of my sunflower sprouts. I've discovered one has to have PATIENCE with these seeds. They are FINALLY beginning to sprout. It's the putting water around the edges and dribbling on top and then putting them in a WELL LIT room. Not the little light that was on my oven. I noticed this, this morning. At 7 a.m. I turned the kitchen light ON, and went out to breakfast. In 90 minutes, there was a NOTICABLE difference in my sprouts. So they are now on a well lit window sill (the sun was not up in my kitchen at 7 a.m. so that's why I turn on the light. So by 8:30 a.m. my kitchen had sunlight (indirect) but a lot of light. So I didn't need to turn on my overhead light. They are blossoming like crazy. I learn new stuff like this every day. Some day I'll master this. I'm in no rush. I'm only 64. lol Melody > > > > > > > > > I now know how to sprout them, but I don't know what to do with the nighttime comes.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Mel, didn't you see my post where I said to use 4 T (that's tablespoonsful) of seeds per 9 " pie plate? That's what told me to do and that's what I do. That makes a nice big crop - quite dense, so when you cut some, you don't make a big dent in the growth. I snip them off at the dirt level with my fingers and eat a few whenever I pass the dish. Lovely.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Let's put it this way. When I was a teenager, I weighed quite a bit more than my mother. I was quite a bit taller than her.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I would never have thought of hitting my mother and probably not my father either. I sure got a lot of spanking from him and some from Mom too. But I would tell them what I thought at times. I was a fairly good kid but I didn't take a lot of abuse from anyone except Dad or Mom.  I did throw a brush and hit my sister in thehead once. She was giving me a hard time. I am the one who got the brush broken on my bottom and then the fly swatter before Mom used her hand. I figured my sister deserved the hit. Guess I should have gotten her out alone, but I didn't.  But I didn't get off with no criticism or hassle. Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 10:08 PM Subject: Re: Do I cover my sunnies at night?  Let's put it this way.

That's what told me to do and that's what I do. That makes a nice big crop - quite dense, so when you cut some, you don't make a big dent in the growth. I snip them off at the dirt level with my fingers and eat a few whenever I pass the dish.
