Microgreens Desk: grow fresh greens indoors in 7 to 28 days
Pick crops and a harvest date. The desk works backward to soak and sow dates, repeats them weekly or every two weeks for a steady supply, and totals the seed you need by weight. Microgreens grow on a windowsill or under a shop light, so the plan works in every zone. Your plan saves on your device. No account needed.
Free microgreens planner. Pick crops and a harvest date to get soak and sow dates, a weekly sowing schedule, and seed weight per tray for radish, pea shoots, sunflower, broccoli, and more.
