I am interested in some good "cut & come again" microgreens, can you recommend any that can give a good portion of the green stuff when putting it on a dinner plate? I would also like to know if I can do this with caulie and brockerly?

I thought the whole point of the microgreens fad was to fool the hungry dinner guest with a miserable portion on the basis of superior taste. Somewhat like a modern version of nouvelle cuisine where restaurants can charge a fortune for portions that wouldn't satisfy a hamster. -
Alternatively (and perhaps appropriately) you could use very small dinner plates.Comment

Looks like I got microgreens confused with baby veg!Follow my garden and chilli growing project... @impatientgrowerComment

Herby, do you want baby veg or cut and come again salad ?
for baby veg (eg. carrots, beetroot) sow closely and eat the thinnings.
for cutting salad, sow a load of mixed salad seed into a pot/trough and snip off with scissors, as needed.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

Aren't microgreens like cress but seedlings of broccoli, red cabbage etc? If I have got that right you wouldn't be able to cut and come again, it would be one seedling - one harvest.
As for baby veg, Suttons 'speedy seeds' do lots of varieties which mature small and quickly.Happy Gardening,

I bought microgreen onions and am using the seeds for spring onions - about 1/10 of the price that you'd pay for the onion seeds themselves [well, ten times the seed for the same price].
I think they use 'any old seed that they have left over' for the microgreens judging by the onion types I'm getting as springs......so if you don't mind which variety you grow then it can be a cost effective way of getting lots of seed for little outlay.
