I have some Payaya, Rosemary, Catnip, Lettuce, Kale, Collards, Basil, Coconuts, Corn, and beans, but my sprouts got attacked by some birds. At another spot I have Coconut Sprouts, Dandelion, Clovers, Tomato, Aloe and more Rosemary. The dry season is just ending but I am not sure what I would like to plant just yet. Maybe some more greens like spinach and chard. Oh and some bell peppers and cucumbers would be good.

I juice it with other greens and make raw breads with it. The Kale is starting to grow in now. The Dandelions and Clovers grow on their own like weeds. Now that I eat greens picked fresh from the garden, store bought greens (like Dinosaur Kale) seem like they are wilted and I don't enjoy eating them. I am only familiar with the wild foods in my area. In SF I found some wild Blackberries and Strawberries though. Start with wild fruits first, then maybe nuts and seeds, then greens and herbs. Well, Coconuts are not easy to sprout. I am still learning after all these years. The dryness of Summer took a toll on my coconut sprout production line.

I know. Isn't it AMAZING to just go out, pick some greens, and plop them right in the blender, for a green smoothie? Or right in the salad. It feels so alive !!!
Were the clovers and dandelion wild, or did you buy them from somewhere, or did you grow them from seed?
You juice the rosemary? Never thought of doing that... what does it taste like?
I want a good reliable seed source... last year I grew a lot of seeds of change seeds, they are organic but I'm pretty sure the Mars corporation (candy) bought them out so that doesn't really sit well with me...

Yes, wild Dandelion and Clover. No seed needed.
I like juicing rosemary. Tastes very medicinal like a good cough syrup. Be careful not to put too much Rosemary. About a teaspoon or tablespoon full of fresh Rosemary is enough to spice up a pint of green juice.
You could try sunorganic.com for sprouting seeds. They don't have a wide selection like SOC.
