🌱 Grow Your Own Microgreens at Home! 🌱

Looking for a fun, easy, and healthy way to elevate your meals? Microgreens are the answer! Growing micro These tiny, nutrient-packed greens are super simple to grow right on your windowsill—and they’re ready to harvest in just 1–2 weeks and are super cheap to grow.

Here’s how to start:
1️⃣ Grab Some Seeds: Try sunflower, radish, pea shoots, or broccoli!

3️⃣ Mist with Water: Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
4️⃣ Cover for 2–4 Days: Let the seeds germinate in the dark.
5️⃣ Let Them Shine: Move them to a sunny spot, and watch them grow!

🌟 Harvest when they’re 1–3 inches tall, and use them to top salads, sandwiches, or even smoothies. Bonus: they’re packed with vitamins and flavor!

Did you know micro greens are more nutritious than the mature plant?

🌱 Raising Kids, Raising a Greener Future 🌎

Jessica from @nature.needs.sd and I talk about raising kids and sustainability

Teaching my kids about sustainability starts with the little things. We plant vegetables in the backyard, and they light up watching tiny seeds grow into something we can eat. We go on nature walks and pick up litter, talking about why it’s important to care for our planet.

Sustainability isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being intentional. It’s about showing our kids that small, everyday actions add up to something big. Together, we’re not just raising children; we’re raising stewards of the Earth. 💚

What sustainable habits do you practice with your kids? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 👇
