I believe that
growing baby greens indoors is rewarding in many ways. Let’s start with the
most obvious one - harvesting time.
It is extremely short compared to the time needed for harvesting mature plants.
But hey, growing them indoors is also great for they are smile in size and have
less soil, space and light requirements than mature plants. If you’re
interested in the idea, take a look at my 5 step-by-step instructions for
growing baby greens indoors.
Baby Greens are Well-Suited for Container and Indoor Gardening
Step 1 - Sowing
I’ve noticed that people often get
confused with the sowing part. So, to solve the mystery you need to know that
most seeds you use for getting baby greens such as lettuce, arugula, endive and spinach varieties should only be covered
with a light dusting of soil.
Step 2 - Maintaining
Watering is the key here. I know
that my greens need good amounts of water and therefore I pay attention not to allow
them to dry out. If that happens, you can say bye-bye to your tiny greens.
Step 3 - Harvesting
Most baby greens are ready for
harvest within a month after sowing. Another option for you to determine the
right time for action is their height. I usually harvest my baby greens when
they reach 7-10 cm.
Step 4 - Saving Seeds
You’ll like the fact that seeds can
be saved from any type of baby greens. The tricky part here is to separate the
chaff from the seeds. To do that, I use a fine mesh sieve.
Step 5 - Let me Know How It Went
OK, I can hear you laughing, or at
least see you smiling about this step. But hey, I’d really like to find out
more about your experience with growing greens indoors. So, if you find a
