How to Germinate Lemon sorrel as a Microgreen

Prepare a small flat tray

you can use compost as a base or grow the seeds Hydrophonicly with water

To use compost as a base place some water in the bottom of your trayadd a fine compost do not fill right to the top of the tray

Its best to leave a small area at the top of the tray to make arvesting your greens easier.

let the water soak up into the compost and sow the seed densley by sprinkling over the compost

Spray the top of the seeds cover so the seeds are dark until they have germinated roughly 1-4 days

Place under a even light and watch them grow  they should be ready for harvesting around 11-14 days

To grow hydrophonicly prepare a tray with a smaller tray inside that has holes in it for letting in water

Inside the smaller tray place  a material the seeds can grip and root on you can try paper towel,coir mats

fill the water in the larger tray so it is just touching the seeds

Now wait intil the seeds germinate and grow up they should be a rich green colour approx 11-14 days before ready for harvesting

How to germinate Lemon sorrel as a plant

Easily Grown from seed

Grow any time of year if you can protect it from the frost

Prepare a pot or plant cells with a seed compost and stand your pot or cells in the water.

Sprinkle the seeds finley across the compost spacing them out, push them into the soil but do not cover!

Now you need to create a humid atmosphere with clingfilm,if using a pot just pull the Clingfilm tight over the top .

Within a few hours you should see condensation if you dont the clingfilm isnt tight enough or air is getting in.

With cells you do the same thing but will need to cover the seeds and the base and the sides to create the humid enviroment.

Place in a warm sunny spot germination can take 7-20 days

Adding a heat mat to the base helps germination

Keep the seeds warm sunny and moist

As each seedling becomes big enough start aclimatising to the outside
