The pistchios have probably been dry roasted. That kills the germ and they won't

grow.

Can you sprout Pistachio and Pumpkin Seeds?

Probably a dumb question but I was in the supermarket today and they had Salted

Pistachio and Unsalted Pistachio. And the first thing that came to my mind is

" well, if I can sprout Sunflower seeds, why not the other kinds of seeds? "

Anyone ever try this?

Thanks much

I figured that but I was wondering if, like Black oil Sunflower seeds, they ever

made a black oil or ANY KIND of organic pistachio or pumpkin seed.

It's true. No human hands have touched them. I pour them into the mason jar to

soak, and then I pour them into my trays to sprout..and then, when transferring

to a ziplock bag, I invert the ziplock bag and grab them and put them in. This

is when I don't de-hull them.

Of course if I am dehulling them, I'm grabbing handfuls and putting them in a

colander to drain.

And I am not from earth. I am from the planet SPROUTVILLE!!!

In agriculture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture and gardening

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardening , *mulch*

http://cougar.eb.com/soundc11/m/mulch001.wav is a protective cover placed over

the soil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil to retain moisture, reduce erosion,

provide nutrients, and suppress weed growth and seed germination. Mulching in

gardens and landscaping http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscaping mimics the

leaf cover that is found on forest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest floors.

Thanks very much EW. I also found this on youtube.

And as soon as I saw the slug on the leaf I said " This is NOT for me " .

lol. But it's cool to learn.

I'm clicking on the links you provided and will continue to be your best

student.

And guess what your best student did today? My landlord came in to turn off the

thermostat and when she saw my Home Garden, she did a big OMG!!! and I walked

her over to my shelves and there was ooohing and aaahing and she had NEVER seen

anything like it. She knew I sprouted (long time ago in jars) and she thought I

still did that. She could not get over my pea shoots.

Well, when I showed her my sprout garden which I keep to the right of the

shelves and I showed her my fenugreek and I had 7 trays going and she said OMG,

you sprout in this little space?? And then I explained the difference between

sprouting and microgreening and the sun and well, I gave a sprout lesson. For 20

minutes or longer.

And guess what she went back home with? I gave her some pea seeds and she's

going to grow them in a pot of soil. And I gave her one of my little chia trays

and she's going to grow Chia.

Hey, never mind New York, I'm going to change Brooklyn.
