Cover the bottom of the container with an inch or two of moistened potting soil/mix or coir.3. Flatten and level it with your hand or a small piece of cardboard, taking care not to over-compress the soil.4. Scatter seeds evenly on top of the soil.5. Press gently into the soil using your hand or the cardboard.6. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Dampen the surface with a mister.7. If you prefer, you can skip this step and instead cover the container with a clear lid or plastic wrap until the seeds are sprouted.8. While waiting for sprouts to appear, usually within three to seven days, use the mister once or twice daily to keep the soil moist but not wet.9. Once seeds have sprouted, remove the cover (if you've used one) and continue to mist once or twice a day.10. Microgreens need about four hours daily of direct sunlight to thrive (south facing window).11. In winter months, some may need even more. Leggy, pale greens are a sign of not enough sunlight.12. Light needs can also be satisfied with a grow light that has a low heat output — you don't want to scorch your delicate greens.13. Microgreens will be ready to harvest about two to three weeks after planting. Look for the first set of "true leaves" as a sign of readiness.14. Then grab your scissors and snip the greens just above the soil line.15. To serve, wash the microgreens with water and dry with paper towels or a salad spinner.16. Harvest and serve them immediately for the freshest flavor, and add to soups, salads, sandwiches or main dishes.17. Store remaining cut microgreens in a plastic bag in your refrigerator.HOW TO GROW AMARANTH FROM SEEDHow to Grow Red Garnet Amaranth SeedsWHEN TO PLANT AMARANTH SEEDSAmaranth can be planted inside or outside in the Spring, but we’d recommend starting the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost. If you decide to plant outside, wait until the soil is warm.Amaranth needs full sun and can be grown in almost any well-drained soil besides dense clay.HOW TO PLANT AMARANTH SEEDSPlant your seeds about 10-12 inches apart and cover lightly with soil. They will germinate within 3-4 days if the temperatures are between 60-90 degrees F. When moving your seeds outside, sow them 1.5 to 2 feet apart. Amaranth is drought and heat resistant, so it is only necessary to water once or twice a week during dry periods. For taller plants, add fertilizer once or twice a year or add compost. Amaranth grows between 4 and 6 feet tall but with particularly rich soil with plenty of nitrogen and phosphorous, the plants can get to around 8 feet!HOW TO HARVEST AMARANTHAmaranth will flower until the first hard frost, so there will be plenty of seeds to harvest! Seeds from the flowers are usually ready for harvest after 3 months. To harvest, shake the flower heads and catch the falling seeds.Customer Service First please DO NOT LEAVE A NEGATIVE if you have an issue. WE WILL FIX IT.
