I grow a lot of sprouts for winter greens. Last year I planted them and even though I didn't know what varieties they were, I got a bumper crop. The cost of 1lb packages of organic sprouting seeds compared to organic seeds from a seed supplier might be worth a look. I planted kale, radish, micro greens, brocoli, and beets.

I never though of looking at planting my seeds for sprout.  

I like this idea so I just might look into buying more sprouting seeds.

Where do you buy your or where have you found the best prices?

I use the local coop, but Johnny's has what appears to be a better price (under sprouting seeds) than what I have seen on Amazon.
 
You save more money with a clothesline than dozens of light bulb purchases. Tiny ad:
