Spring Seeds

I’m gonna say Spring is here. I am getting ready to put my seedlings out (late as usual), and I am nearly finished with my irrigation so maybe my plants will stay alive this year. I like relatively instant results though so I’m sending you some seeds to use as sprouts/microgreens! You can eat them yourself or feed them to your cats. Or chickens. Goats. Whoever.

Included in this month’s box:

Wheatgrass seeds

Alfalfa seeds

Kale seeds

A seed sprouting mat

Lemongrass incense

Ginger lemon tea mix

A carved satin spar charging block

For the Plus tier: moss agate and a pretty tree, to remind you of the green that’s coming. Or here, if you’re in the south, I think.

Don’t eat any of this stuff if you’re allergic to it. Caution for the alfalfa: Ask your doctor before eating alfalfa sprouts if you’re pregnant, and be careful if you are on blood thinners as it contains chemicals with blood-thinning properties.

OK so I imagine you know that alfalfa is used in spellwork to represent prosperity and is useful in money spells. Why though? Well, here we go. Alfalfa is higher in protein than most field grasses. If you feed a cow alfalfa, they get bigger and produce more milk. We’re gonna use that.

Why kale? Kale is one of the most nutrient-dense plants around. It’s one of the few non-ocean things I can eat to get Omega 3 acids since anything that lives in the ocean (even kelp or seaweed) makes me sick. It’s also really high in Vit C. We’re gonna use that strength and growth aspect too.

And now wheatgrass. It’s actually just plain wheat if you want to plant some in the ground and see what happens. Wheat is what we use to make bread- the “Staff of Life.” Why eat wheatgrass though? Well, it can help your body break down food and absorb nutrients. So we’re gonna use it in a similar way to the kale. I’d do this on the new moon so you can use that moon growth to pull your spell (and your seeds) along with.

Here’s what I did with mine. I put the seed mat (plastic down) in an empty rotisserie chicken container. Yeah, I saw all those links on facebook. You can also use a clear bowl over a plate, Gladware, or even a Ziploc bag. Then I poured water into it, then poured it out. After that I added the seeds. I just sprinkled them on top. The photo is just the kale though. If you want a good solid mat of sprouts, use a bunch of seeds. While you’re doing this, tell them what you are asking of them (good health, better tippers, more customers, a raise). Thank them for growing and helping you achieve these goals. Tell them how these things will affect your life. Then put the lid on and keep it somewhere warm. On top of the fridge is decent, if you don’t have cats.
Watch it over the next week. As you see the seeds sprout, think about what you’re doing to achieve your goals. When you see them sprouting, put them in a window that gets sunlight. You can eat them when they’re about an inch tall- or that’s when I did, anyway. I just used scissors to harvest.

This would be good with mint, radish, cilantro, or basil seeds too! Yum.
