Harvesting Guide

One of the great things about home gardening is the flexibility it provides, and not being limited to how long produce will stay good in your fridge. 

At Leath, we want to emphasize that there is never a magic number for the perfect day to harvest. There are numerous variables that will affect when the greens will be ready to harvest — such as seed type, when seeds exit germination, amount of light they receive, and just general growing conditions.

While conditions will be the biggest determinant, we find that the below schedules are good guides on average:

HOW TO HARVEST:

When you’re ready to harvest, gather a sharp pair of kitchen shears and a bowl to place your greens in. Grasping the tops of your greens, carefully snip at the base of the stem, approximately ½ - 1 inch above the coir surface. Harvest in sections, taking as much or as little as you need. Do take care as not to damage the delicate greens!

If saving for use later, place your greens in a storage container with a slightly damp paper towel and transfer to your fridge, where they will keep for up to 1 - 2 weeks.

HARVESTING FAQS

Though our grow times are between 7-14 days, microgreens can continue to grow for up to 3-4 weeks in the Fieldhouse. After that point, the textures and flavors may begin to change as the greens mature.

We recommend a good pair of kitchen scissors for harvesting. You can also use a sharp knife, but make sure to be cautious and always cut away from yourself.

With the Fieldhouse you can harvest in the portion size that suits you. Easily harvest exactly what you need, whenever needed.
