Re: day 1 store seeds

[Guest guest]

Carolyn, keep in mind that you can START root veggies in the aerogarden, or do

the greens with it, but you will have to transplant them to ground or container

to grow the plant. No root veggies in the aerogarden, since it grows with water

rather than soil, and root veggies need soil...lots of it!

there.  I don't know if the one packet I bought will be useful for sprouting

though.  It is Early Wonder Beets and says it has early greens and considered

the best beet for greens.  Produces the crop quickly.  I was thinking of using

it in either the aerogarden or to plant in the yard.  If they will grow in

coir, could do that and get some greens and not all and save for a root

harvest.  There are 2 grams in packet for $1.79 (just my drive over). That had

much larger bags of seeds  that are organic and could be used for whatever, I

presume.  They had some sprouted seeds as well and I figured they were for

cooking or chopping in something.  It was interesting but I had most of the

seeds I needed as I don't have a lot of space.  The bigger bag, probably a

pound was $12 something.

dropped quite a bit as I felt shaky and went to the deli and got a couple of

things and then bought a big cookie as I knew I needed to eat and get some sugar

in my system.  I have no idea what it was since I didn't have a meter with

me.  I had eaten at about 11 or 12 and it was about 5 so I shouldn't have had a

problem.  Maybe all the walking which I'm not used to.  Didn't see a scooter

until I was leaving.  Got my walk in though.  Wiped out when I finally got

home.  I sat there and ate one of my deli items as I had a spoon (no fork) in

the glovebox.

store which sells vitamins and supplements and veggies.  It is less expensive

than Whole Foods.  That has to be another day.  I don't usually have a problem

with that so it was a surprise to feel that way.  Maybe one of those spikes as

I had cereal and a banana.
