Notes & Growing Tips:
Soak fenugreek microgreen seeds and water heavily when planting. Cover with a thin, fluffy layer of soil--if planting hydroponically, cover with a paper towel. This helps the microgreen seedling remove the shell from itself. Bottom water so that the top layer of soil is drier, making it easier for the microgreens to poke through and grow.
