Bummer! Sometimes I just cannot win for losing. Dumb me, I started my seed sprouting, but failed to realize that I did not have enough time to complete the project before I had to leave town for several days. We ended up cleaning the sprouter out before we left, for fear of what we would find when we returned. I hope to start the process again this week. One thing that I believe I will change is the amount of seeds I placed in the sprouter. DH felt that I had over-crowded the contents….so I will follow his lead.
