Re: I have a question about storing my brassicas

[Guest guest]

I store all of my grains, seeds, nuts, etc. in my deep freeze. I buy in bulk

(50 pounds at a time) so I repackage into smaller, more manageble jars. I often

move jars from the freezer to the fridge-have never seen anything crawling or

flying around. I move them around as space allows.

Look at what happens in nature. Any insect that can survive the winter in egg

stage is waiting for the weather to warm up before it can hatch. If it is cold

it will not hatch because it needs the weather to stay warm for long enough for

the possibility of it finding food. So unless you keep your refrigerator at a

too warm temperature the seeds will be fine.

Thank you Lee:;

I just uncovered some pea shoots and sunnies after keeping them in the dark for

3 days. Oh how lovely. They are sprouting and shooting up and I now use 10 x 20

trays for this. So much easier. Grow a big batch all at once.

I love the fact that I can now keep some containers in the fridge.

Now for my next experiment, WHEN IT GETS HOT, I'm going to try and see if the

brassicas grow (using the Sprout garden) in the fridge.

I'm only going to test one tray (with cover) doing this.

I tried this with bean sprouts and they did not sprout.

Now I want to see what happens when one sprouts brassicas.

They create their own heat right? So if my kitchen is 80 and I don't have room

in my home made air conditioning system, I want to find out if I can stick one

or two trays with covers in the fridge.

I'll only learn if I experiment.

And when I do, I'll make a video.
