 Micro-Greens & Mini-Greens

Are these tiny plants the new ‘foodie’ rage for gardeners, chefs and nutritionists? It may be a new idea to some,
but eating tiny greens as a flavorful garnish or crunchy topping has been around for years. These are not sprouts
– they are seedlings (stem, cotyledons, and first true-leaves; no root or seed coat) of edible vegetables, herbs
and flowers. Easy to grow in just a few days from seed, the leaves can have 4 to 6 times the nutritional value
of the same mature vegetable.

 Fall is for Planting too!
Gardeners living in temperate zones often feel that vegetables can only be planted during the “frost free”
periods. With a little planning, many cool season vegetables can be seeded in the late summer and early fall.
This ‘second season’ is great for vegetables such as kale, lettuces, spinach, radicchio, beets and peas. Plant
seeds for these crops in late summer and early fall as you begin to remove the spent warm season tomatoes,
peppers and eggplants. You’ll enjoy harvesting right through late fall and into winter. Add a little protection with
floating row covers (Remay), and you could be enjoying fresh spinach from your garden right into the New
Year!

The ‘Other’ Fall Planting

However, there is another type of ‘fall planting’, less familiar to today’s gardeners, which can help get a
jumpstart on the following spring. Many hardy cool season vegetables including lettuce, peas, spinach,
broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, radishes & cauliflower, when seeded during the winter will germinate
in the spring based on soil and air temperature, not the whim and fancy of the gardener. Lettuce, spinach
and Chinese cabbage that are not planted early enough to take advantage of the cool spring will often bolt
(form a seed stalk) when hot weather arrives. Radishes planted during the heat will typically bolt instead
of developing an enlarged root. Planting in late fall just before the ground freezes allows these cold-hardy
vegetables the opportunity to develop early when soil and air temperatures are ideal for this category of
vegetable.
Certain other vegetables also take advantage of early spring germination and development. Tomato, squash,
pumpkin and several other warm season crops frequently germinate early in the spring from fruit left in the
garden from the previous fall. These ‘naturally’ seeded vegetables harden off quickly in the spring and are
remarkably capable of withstanding freezing temperatures. They often out-produce transplants set out after
the last killing spring frost.
How to do this?
In the fall, after the garden has been cleared of all dead plant material, till the garden area and mark rows the
same as if you were going to seed in the spring. Just before the ground freezes (or after if necessary) seed
the desired cold-hardy vegetables, cover with soil from the garden or potting soil (if the garden soil is frozen).
Cover the seed as directed on the package. When the ground is frozen, adding a layer of straw, hay mulch
or even shredded leaves (as long as they do not pack down) will help keep the ground frozen and maintain
moisture through the winter. The goal is to keep the ground frozen to delay germination until spring, not allow
thawing and refreezing which will heave the soil and can kill the seed. A good inch of mulch is sufficient.
Even small seedlings like carrots will come through 1 inch of mulch. The mulch will settle by spring; the inch
that was applied will probably be about ½ inch thick. In areas where wind is a problem, mulch can be held in
place with chicken wire or boughs from evergreen trees. Once the mulch is in place, soak the seeded area to
provide sufficient moisture for germination.
