More Notes & Growing Tips

Dun pea microgreens are very easy to grow but only in soil. Growing pea greens is very difficult hydroponically. Use approx 12 Oz. of seed for a 10x20 inch tray. Soak seeds in cold water for half a day to a day. Make sure you use plenty of water and a large bowl, as dun pea seeds soak up large amounts of water. You can plant directly, but we prefer to transfer to a colander. Rinse 2 to 4 times a day in the colander for another day or two until the seedlings begin to peek out. Tamp the soil gently to flatten. Spread evenly (they should be quite thick) and tamp very gently to ensure contact with the soil. Mist thoroughly twice a day. Keep covered with the blackout / humidity dome for 3 to 4 more days before exposing light. Water once a day so the soil is damp but not soggy. Dun Pea micro greens are one of our all-time favorite microgreens! The pea shoots are sweet and delicious and fairly straight and leafy. They make a great garnish or addition to any salad.
