Gorgeous knitting!
I posted sunflower advice in the other thread.

I've been successful growing micro greens all year. Some trial and
error at first. Johnny's has the best seed. I tried a few other
suppliers for testing small amounts. Cheaper but you get what you
pay for...one mix was filthy like bird seed scraped off a barn floor
and only one seed in the mix sprouted.

Johnny's spicy mix is fantastic, and not really 'spicy', just meaty.
I should try the mild mix next order.
Dwarf grey sugar pea is a must grow to go with the spicy/mild mix
Other supplier peas were slow growing and had woody stems.
DwarfGS from Johnny's is tall tender and crunchy.
I added beet and chard to my spicy mix last batch.

Just need to test and experiment. Bottom water, sunny window,
or lights. Needs to be moist/damp but not wet and a fan is a must.
