Soaked some sunflower and peas yesterday. Little germination so far. I think my seed is bad. I didn't have high hopes for the sunnies as my dh purchased them for birdseed. But my peas have been in the pantry for awhile. Only about 1/3 of them have "little tails." I'm going to order some fresh seed and try again.

Paying for grocery store bought greens makes me cranky. But here at the end of January, I'm desperate for fresh greens. Somehow, paying for seeds doesn't seem so painful.

Thanks so much for all the growing help here. I'll keep you posted on my progress when I get my new seed. I've never tasted pea or sunflower shoots, but your pictures are making me drool.
