sprouter


Question
I just got a small, countertop "sprouter" and our first "crop" of alfalfa sprouts is just ready to harvest...it seems to be working out well. I would like to continue growing sprouts, to add to our diet for the health benefits. I would like to try broccoli next...

Could you suggest a good, economical resource for ordering seeds for sprouting year round? Or are seeds only available seasonally? If I have to by them all in one go, what is the best way to store the seeds until I am ready to use them?

Many thanks

Answer
buy your seeds now while the garden centers/nurseries are selling them.  at the end of summer the seed packets will go back to the producers. just store them in a cool, dark, dry spot(drawer, basement, etc.). they can be started indoors all year. use starter trays (available from your garden center/nursery)w/clear plastic lids to aid in propagation. quiz them on indoor propagation from seeds while there.
good luck
