DESCRIPTION
Growing Minowase Radish Microgreens
Growing Directions:
Minowase radish microgreens are fast and easy to grow. This microgreen is substantial and very crunchy. Due to its fast growth, it can be harvested as early as 6 days, assuming you have exposed to light on day 3. You can flip the lid a day before exposing to light to strengthen the crop.
When growing in soil, some folks cover their seeds with a thin layer of soil (like you might with buckwheat, peas, or sunflower), which is fine but by no means required. Mist for the first few days after sowing.
