JJB asked about growing sesame seeds today. https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.p...3#pid58993
This reminded me of something I've talked about doing for years but, surprise, surprise, not done much about.
In the interests of Growing Food for Free, it maybe time to actually do it!
I'm going to challenge myself to see how many seeds, peas and beans that, have been bought for eating, can actually be grown and turned into food.
Last year I grew some Hodmedod peas but didn't plant them out so didn't grow them to maturity. I've grown pea shoots from dried peas which is easy and cheap. I should be able to grow some of the beans. Possibly some herb seeds - fennel, dill, caraway, cumin, coriander. Sunflower seeds for shoots. Mung beans for bean sprouts. Chia seeds.
I'll start by testing some for viability on damp paper.
Anyone going to join me - or can suggest other seeds to try?
