What fun memories :) I used a jar with a circle of cheescloth or net secured over the mouth with a rubber band, put them under the sink in the dark until they sprouted (Jar upside down, one side propped up to allow air into the jar) and brought them out onto the counter after they'd sprouted. I used alfalfa, mung beans, wheat, and I can't remember what else. I even made up a song about growing them ( everything is a cue for a song..LOL) and my oldest daughter and I used to sing it and laugh our silly heads off :) <br/>You've inspired me to grow some again!

I recently stocked up with seeds from the Sprout People website. Adzukis, spicy sprouts, wheat berries...I can't remember them all. The wheat berry sprouts are fabulous in homemade bread--just toss in a handful.<br/><br/>I think you could say we qualify as living the "sprout lifestyle." Do you think it'll ever catch on?<br/><br/>Robin at Bumblebee I haven’t tried the hemp bag, but hear that it’s a good way to go with especially tiny seeds.

I think you could say we qualify as living the “sprout lifestyle.” Do you think it’ll ever catch on?
