Those look great! They are growing in perfect uniform. I notice some radish microgreens sprout a mix of green and purple, some don't.. is that mixed verities? If they kept growing would the purple ones stay that color? Very cool!

yes its mixed variety and yes they will stay purple
radish is our favorite to grow

I grow radish in the garden but just whatever seed pack happens to be available at the garden store. It's hot and miss.. some years they are good, some years they are too strong to enjoy. I'll have to keep an eye out for those purple ones to try. I just eat them with salt mostly.. lick and dip sort of thing.

the basil is very strong
the basil is from earlier this yr will be starting another tray of it soon it is a very slow growth rate
