Table Top Garden ---- Bean Sprouts

This year Santa brought Dixon some great stuff. My favorite was the Kitchen Crop Sprouter from Amazon.

My wife as usual was hesitant/unsure about the idea of eating sprouts.  So far we have grown 3 crops of sprouts. The first was alfalfa.

The alfalfa sprouts tasted like lettuce and were wonderful on sandwiches. I later read in a Victory Garden Book that 1/2 cup of  alfalfa sprouts has the same vitamin C as 6 cups of Orange Juice.

The second crop of sprouts were from radish seeds. I should have thought a little more before grabbing the first pinch of these and popping them into my mouth.

Come to find out radish sprouts are quite spicy!!!!! Yeah spicy causing tears in the eyes kinda like when ya get a nice amount of horseradish. Katherine did manage to find that if put on toast with cheese (laughing cow) or something similar the spicy ness is much more pleasant.

The third crop was planted by Dixon even though he has not admitted to liking any of them. They still need a couple more days but currently look like this.

The fuzzy stuff is not mold but small hairlike roots that form on some of the seeds. After this picture was taken Katherine passed by and stole some..... so I guess she is OK with the sprout growing project.
