Here is my post from 2/10. I grow them inside in a (really cheap!) plastic container  -  they take about 2-3 weeks to get to usable size. When they get their first real leaves (or maybe 2 - if I'm not impatient) I cut them off. i get 3-4 servings from a planting. Some years i am organized enough to start another batch before the first is over but not this year. I mainly use them over salad but there are many other possibilities. I get my seed from PineTree Gardens - their "Kitchen sink mix" but there are many other suppliers. (A lot of them give you much less seed for lots more money though.)

 

My winter garden - micro greens. They should be ready to use next week. This batch is not doing so well I have the choice of either putting them by a sunny window where i am unable to protect them from our new kitten walking on them and pulling them up to eat or putting them in a protected space where they get less sun. I have opted for the latter.
