Growing Microgreens Outdoors

Once you have your seeds picked out, it’s now time to plant! If you’re planting the microgreens in an outdoor garden, break up the existing soil and smooth it with a rake. 

Place the seeds ¼ -inch from each other and press gently into the soil with your hands. Cover with about ⅛ inch of soil. Take a spray bottle and mist the seeds so they’re damp, or until the soil feels like a sponge — not too wet but not too dry. Using a spray bottle will avoid dislodging the seeds.
