Nutrient-packed greens! 

I just harvested a few of my microgreens for my salad. I've been growing radish micorgreens and I love them! 

This book I especially like. It covers all aspects of learning to grow your own microgreens. Beautiful colorful photography makes this book a useful tool. I like visual learning. It helps me to know what I need to learn about growing microgreens. Everything that the home grower needs to learn to grow microgreens is in this book. Learning about how to grow using the ten-step process with photos for each step. No guessing its all there. A great chapter on composting and the recipe chapter using food as art is beautiful. I especially love the chapter on troubleshooting that answers a lot of questions I've had before and new ones to look for and be aware of. The book is beautifully done!
