Great tradition Nikola. The lighting is purfect on the second one and the third one is grand also (love that green). Do you eat the sprouted wheat?

What are they germinating on? I have got to try that!

Ken, I'm using three metods with equally success.
Seeds soaked in pure water on equally soaked thin layer of humus, seeds soaked in pure water on equally soaked thin layer of cotton wool or just seeds soaked in pure water alone which is case on second photograph. Seeds are storage of all necessary nutrients for a few weeks of living.

.... Do you eat the sprouted wheat?...

Yep, seed sprouts are very delicious bu must be from a trustworthy source, no pesticide, no fungicide.
On second photograph the shadow of my objective helped to make a mirror effect on a white porcelain dish.
