Indoor Winter Planting

Going through the seed catalogues inspired me to get going on my windowsill planting. That and the fact the rabbits are almost out of the food I dried for them. I still have some dandelion, mint and cornstalks left but they will probably be gone in a week or two. Happily oats and barley spout really fast so they at least will be ready by the time the dried stuff runs out. I'm going to try a couple of new things this time. Along with the oats, barley and sunflower shoots, I'll try corn shoots and may-be beets and carrot tops. My original goal was to have fast growing vegetation that will re-grow at least three times after being cut down. While that is still the most important, I'm thinking a few slower things will add variety and that's always a good thing. I'll see how it goes.
