Sprouting

Sprouting is an easy way to garden if you're not ready for a full blown garden. If you are a busy working mother as I am, you could appreciate having a garden that doesn't require weeding and provides a quick harvest. All you really need for sprouting is a few glass mason jars, fresh water, a nylon stocking to cover the mouth of the jar, fresh water, and a dark place (with the exception of alfalfa and a few other sprouts). You can sprout just about anything from sesame seeds, to lentils, to oats and beyond. I enjoyed reading Sprout Garden by Mark M. Braunstein. It's great for beginning sprouters.
