Microgreens are great. But a word of caution

Microgreens are great, they are extremely nutritious, taste absolutely awesome and my wife has been growing microgreens for several years with a high level of success.

However, my wife, who is the RHA trained gardener in our family, (I merely have a BA (Hons) in Creative and Professional Writing!)  has asked me to point out that not all seeds are suitable for microgreen cultivation and production.

For example, you should not even attempt to microgreen cultivate plants that are in the nightshade family of plants.

This means you should not microgreen cultivate the following plants: tomatoes, tomatillos, eggplant, potatoes and peppers.

Pretty much all other plants that are edible for humans should be safe to microgreen cultivate, but if there is any doubt in your mind, do err on the side of caution and ask an expert. 

Or read a book on microgreen cultivation? There are now an ever widening range of books available on microgreen cultivation which you should be able to find at good garden centres with a gardening book section, major and independent book sellers and also online book shops such as Amazon, etc.
