FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY

Hi guys! Super duper excited for this post.
First things first. This is an entry into a contest created by @lenasveganliving and contest is now hosted by @plantstoplanks and @vegansofsteemit. #fruitsandveggiesmonday
I’ve been on steemit quite a while and for some reason I’ve been finding it difficult to ride the wave. FINALLY found a comeption I’m very excited to participate in so here’s my entry in #fruitsandveggiesmonday contest for the Monday March 18. Celebrating an American st Patrick’s day with some delicious chia seeds.

They grew from non-organic soil that was discarded in the community garden where I live. Basically I was gifted some chia from the grocery and have been sprouting them in small batches (both water and soil) using old raspberry plastic container with a paper towel. I water them every morning and set them near south facing window. It’s winter in the northern hemisphere so they are thirsty for light.

Sadly, the drafty window wilted about 5 sprouts in the 4th day but I was able to eat the rest in day 6, st Patrick’s day I pretend they were clovers!lol
They from the soil were very ... tart and almost sour. After I cut them down it was about 2 tablespoons of sprouts. I used them to break the fast. Then went hiking in the Colorado mountains:)

EDIT: here is the sprouts after cutting:

Here is the sprouts the day after sprouting:

Here is the sprouts 2 days after sprouting:

Loving these little piggies basking in the sun playing in the sprouts. At this point I blow gently to make them grow stronger!

I feel truly blessed to have the ability to grow tiny plants to feed my body a very healthy food!! Here is the sprouts and the piggies the day before I ate them:

Here is some random seeds I threw in from eating fruit. It may be blueberry idk so if you recognize please let me know in the comment!!

I hope you are delighted by tiny piggies and sprouts and thank you very very much for reading this post. I would love to hear from you! Blessing and peace to you steemians!!
