Success, Failure and Sushi ...

Let's start with the fail and work our way up ...  I saw a site that advocated really high density seeding of buckwheat lettuce so I thought I'd do a little experiment.  We are working with a hydroponic setup and this would be ideal test.  I am using our media (USDA certified organic and fully compostable) and the tray on the right is just plain purified water while the tray on the left is using an organic mix that is certified for food production by State of California.  Just amazing, picture was taken at just over 7 days of growth ...

Now the fail part of this, due to the high density of seed, there appeared some mold.  Not enough to kill the plants, but a troublesome problem I would rather avoid.  We have various means to fight mold, and you can see that our plants are overcoming this.  Success on the experiment and fail on the mold.         Segue to sushi ...
The picture on the right is some 10 day old speckled peas that we are delivering to a local juice bar.  The left hand shot is from one of favorite sushi places, NUKA, here on Maui.  Look at what Chef Hiro can do with microgreen peas ...  hope you're not too hungry now ....
