It is summer, the heat is up and motivated by CornCam - it is time to raise our most impressive crop - SPROUTS.
I'm back in the sprouting mood and what better focus for another webcam experiment, then raising a few sprouts.
sprouts are simply shoting the seeds of whatever you can lay your hands on. The idea is to raise a fresh green salad food. Given that most seeds will store and retain viability for a few years, sprouting is an easy way to have fresh, green food. Note, most sprouts are eaten before they green up as quite a few plants then start to tast bitter.
Traditional sprouting seeds are Mung Beans, Alfalfa, Radish, Fenegreek, Any Bean, Mustard, Wheat and quite a few others.
Our SproutCam will focus on Mung Beans, which take about a week to grow to about 20cm long. during this time, they will of course be consumed {:-).
The purpose, apart from another webcam, will be to produce some time lapse photography. So with this in mind, I'll attempt to keep an historical record of captured images.
