Not only are sprouts a nice way to top of your meal but Sprouts carry essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and are a great source of antioxidants.

🌱 High in Nutrients: These sprouts are packed with essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and iron. They provide a concentrated source of nutrients that support overall health and well-being.

🌱 Rich in Antioxidants: Alfalfa and lentil sprouts are abundant in antioxidants, which help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. This can reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.

🌱 Excellent for Digestion: The fiber content in these sprouts aids in digestion and promotes a healthy gut. They can help regulate bowel movements and prevent constipation, making your digestive system more efficient.

SEE CAPTION 👇🏾👇🏾 Why do we 💚 Pea Shoots? Weelllllll eating pea shoots can offer several benefits:

🌱 Nutrient-Rich: Pea shoots are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, and calcium. They are also a good source of antioxidants, which help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals.

🌱 High Fiber Content: Pea shoots are rich in dietary fiber, which is important for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Fiber can help regulate bowel movements, prevent constipation, and promote a feeling of fullness, which may aid in weight management.

🌱 Versatility and Flavor: Pea shoots have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a delicate texture, making them a versatile ingredient in various dishes. You can add them to salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, soups, or use them as a garnish. Incorporating pea shoots into your meals can enhance both the taste and nutritional value of your food.

🌱 Cost-Effective Greens: Compared to some other specialty microgreens or vegetables, pea shoots are often more affordable, especially when considering their nutritional density and versatility.

Hi Neighbors 👋🏾 we wanted to share some of our (😅 slightly dirty) grow space!

🌱 zera’s holding a tray of micro broccoli, which is ready for harvest!

🌱 we converted a large shed into our indoor grow space

🌱 we do our best to stay organized in our prep area, however, it often gets dirty and hectic

🌱 separating the actual grow section, allows us to better control the plants environment

🌱 we build a custom grow tower that utilizes Hydroponic techniques to bottom water all our trays

🌱 each level has three rows of LED grow lights

Now that was fun! 💚 Zera and I had the pleasure of presenting and introducing urban farming to her kindergarten class!

🌱 We gave students a look into our world of urban farming!

🌱 We introduced students to Microgreens and allowed each to sample some of our popular varieties.

🌱 Each student was also able to make their own grow kit, that they could finish growing at home.

🌱👀🌱 Take a peak… Our trial run is off to a solid start. Can you guess what variety this is??

🌱Good morning, Neighbors!

🌱 Cilantro anyone?

Trial run for some new sprouts 🌱 👀🌱 Comment below with what you think they are!

Thank you for stopping by Neighbors! 💚

Can you tell the difference? 🌱🤔 Part of being a GOOD farmer is knowing your crops! In this clip, Zera does a great job of not only identifying the different varieties of micrograms, but also sharing some tips and tricks, she uses to differentiate them.

Zera is absolutely RIGHT 💚 We use these “Shade Balls” in our prototype vertical hydroponic tower for many reasons. The main reasons being: 1. They provide cover from pests like flies, gnats and mosquitoes 2. They help prevent evaporation, which intern keeps our humidity down in the grow room. 3. It also helps prevent the growth of any algae that would Paul, and take the needed nutrients from the flowers. Our plan is to be able to grow edible flowers consistently indoors. To increase our yields, we will be using LED lights and hydroponic techniques. We got inspired by a technique used by the Los Angeles Reservoir. They use 96 million shade balls to protect their water source.

With that said, we still need to be aware and take into consideration the out side elements. 🌱Sudden changes in extreme cold or extreme heat can adversely affect indoor controls. 🌱We must begin to prepare the grow room for the freezing winter season, by additional insulation in strategic places.

🌱Read Caption 👇🏾 Plants absorb water from the soil through a process called transpiration. Transpiration is the movement of water from the roots, through the plant, and into the atmosphere. Here’s a simplified explanation of how plants drink water: 1. **Root Absorption:** Plants have roots that extend into the soil. The root system absorbs water and essential minerals from the soil. This absorption occurs through root hairs, which are tiny structures that increase the surface area for water uptake. 2. **Capillary Action:** Water moves upward through the plant’s vascular system, which consists of xylem vessels. Capillary action, driven by cohesion and adhesion forces in water molecules, helps lift water against gravity. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together, and adhesion is their tendency to stick to other surfaces, like the walls of the xylem vessels. 3. **Transpiration:** Once water reaches the leaves, it evaporates from small pores called stomata in a process known as transpiration. Transpiration creates a negative pressure (suction) that pulls more water up from the roots. This process is crucial for maintaining the plant’s hydration, transporting nutrients, and cooling the plant. 4. **Water Loss:** As water evaporates from the stomata, it exits the plant and enters the atmosphere. This loss of water is necessary for the plant’s survival and is a key component of the water cycle. The cohesion-adhesion-tension theory explains the mechanism behind water movement in plants. It relies on the cohesive properties of water molecules, adhesion to the walls of the xylem vessels, and the tension created by transpiration to pull water from the roots to the leaves. It’s important to note that this process is an essential part of the overall health and growth of plants, contributing to nutrient transport, structural support, and temperature regulation within the plant.

🌱👇🏾 READ CAPTION👇🏾🌱 Help us GROW. Like, Share, COMMENT! 🪱 Worms are the unsung heroes in any garden. These tiny wigglers are considered beneficial insects, and here is why: 🌱Improved Aeration & Structure: Worms create channels as they move through the soil, enhancing aeration. This allows for better oxygen penetration, crucial for root health and overall plant vitality. 🌱Nutrient Enrichment: Worms break down organic matter in the soil, converting it into nutrient-rich castings. This natural fertilizer provides essential elements for plant growth, promoting healthier and more robust crops. 🌱Natural Pest Control: Worms help control harmful pests by preying on insect larvae and eggs in the soil. This natural form of pest management reduces the need for chemical interventions, creating a balanced and healthier ecosystem for your plants to thrive.
