Quick Saturday tip. If trays aren't labeled with crop and sow date, you will lose track the week you get busy. Sharpie on tape works. So does a printed card. Takes 10 seconds. Saves a whole harvest from guesswork. Drop a photo of your labeling system if you have one. What's your tray label method?

I'm starting something new for this group. I'll keep teaching live on YouTube, and right after each teaching session I'll open a live Q&A on Backstage where you can ask me anything about growing and selling microgreens. Backstage is also where I'll share content that won't be posted anywhere else. Follow me here so you get notified when I go live: https://backstagepass.com/mikehicks/s/live-with-mike-hicks Drop a comment once you've followed so I know you're in.

Sunday Accountability. New week starts tomorrow. Before the trays stack up, pick one goal for the week ahead. Could be locking in a harvest day, chasing one chef account, tightening a soak schedule, or finally writing down your cost per tray. One goal. Not ten. Write it below What is your one goal for this week?

If you want a crop that sells itself, sunflower microgreens are a great choice. They’re nutty, crunchy, and ready in about 10 days. Here’s how to grow them: 1. Soak seeds for 12 hours in cool water. 2. Sow them thickly in a shallow tray with drainage holes. 3. Cover for 3 days to germinate, then uncover and give them light. 4. Water from the top at first, then switch to bottom watering to keep them clean. Customers love them on sandwiches, in salads, or just as a snack. Their size makes them eye-catching at markets and easy to handle when packaging. Have you tried growing sunflowers yet? How did your first tray turn out?
