GARDEN ZONE
to provide adequate artificial light , such as LED grow lights or fluorescent tubes , placed close to the micro greens . Additionally , you must maintain a consistent watering routine , as low-light conditions can slow down evaporation and make it easier to overwater . While the growth may be slower compared to well-lit conditions , you can still achieve good results with patience and proper care . The benefit of growing micro greens in low light is that you can enjoy fresh greens year-round , regardless of outdoor conditions , making it a convenient and accessible option for home gardeners .
HArVeSTinG Your Micro GreenS
To harvest your micro greens , gently grasp a bunch , and with a pair of scissors held in your other hand , snip the greens just above the soil level . Afterward , thoroughly wash and dry them . Ideally , micro greens are best used immediately after harvesting . However , if you have excess greens , you can store them in the refrigerator . Simply wrap them in a paper towel and place them in an airtight container . Keep in mind that once you ’ ve harvested micro greens , they won ’ t regrow , so you ’ ll need to start the process anew by planting fresh seeds .
