Fresh Gobble with a Side of Greens

I have been experimenting with microgreens as a way to add flavour to the many salads we eat and as a potential addition to our CSA baskets, especially until the garden is in full swing.  Since we have grow lights up for the garden seedlings anyway, adding another tray underneath is not a big deal.

We started off with a test batch of broccoli and sunflower seeds.  It look a while for them to get going but they really took off.

Then our seeds arrived from Mumm's Sprouting Seeds in Saskatchewan and we were really in business!  We are growing broccoli, dill, wasabi mustard, red clover, alfalfa, daikon radish, dwarf grey sugar peas, and speckled peas.  The dill did not take but everything else was a success!

 

And the gobble, you ask?  Today was opening day for wild turkey and our huntsman of a Papa was home by 8 am with our bird.  

The homesteader in me finds this huntsman,
who literally puts meat on our table, so appealing.

Tonight's dinner?  Turkey pot pie with a side of crispy and crunchy microgreens salad.

From field to plate in less than 9 hours.  It does not get any fresher than this!
