Growing Our Own Food

When I found out that we we’re going to grow our own sprouts I didn’t really know what to expect at first when I heard bird seeds I didn’t even think they could grow into sprouts with ¼ of jar of water, and filter it out right after they soak up a bit, so I would think why not eat them as seeds. But after the first two days when we started sprouting I became somewhat attached into taking care of my sprouts not knowing what to expect. What made it more meaningful to me was when I started to notice that it was starting to grow some leaves or sprouts, and at that point I wanted to make sure it’d keep sprouting. On the weekend when we had to take the sprouts home with us, I was even more protective of my sprouts watered it in the morning and before I left home to hang out or whatever. Than after we we’re done with our sprouts when we could either eat it or throw it out or whatever someone choose to do with them, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to maintain them, and see what would, but at the same time I was curious to how they’d taste, so I ate them. At firs I was a bit nervous about eating them but than, I rinsed them and ate them with a tuna sandwich. It was good it had a bit of a spicy taste, and I wanted to grow some more. This small project was a bit interesting because I wasn’t really thinking about the sprouts as food or as something I’m growing I was more surprised on how something as simple as birdseeds can easily grow with water and didn’t take much energy to grow, and thought about how life is not as complicating as it seems.
