Sprouts akimbo

Hi, I have been really contemplating gardening for years and never had the the confidence to venture into it until, that is, my baby suddenly 'sprouted' (you'll see later on where this comes in) to a 3 yo. Well as a parent we are to educate and to instill a 'you can do anything you put your mind to' attitude to our lil ones, so I bit the bullet and bought some modest gardening supplies to help start off on our gardening adventure. Everything is growing well, I did however have in mind to grow some Rocket..easy to grow etc, however, going into my seed box after sowing my 'Rocket' a few weeks earlier I discovered that I've grown sprouts and they look a right tangle mess. I must have about 50 seedlings in one pot...what can I do? They look healthy but I think it will be a near on imposibilty to seperate them without causing some sort of root damage. Anyone offer any suggestions please. TIA

Hiya Fairyvegmother (blimey, that's a mouthful )
Sorry, but too late for Sprouts.

 

You could grow them, and just eats the little plants for the greens as you
would cabbage.

 

You could, yes. I just think it would be tough and bitter. Never tried it.

 

They often sell sprout tops for greens in the winter, not my kind of thing but people do buy them.

 

Yeah, I've done that. Didn't like it.

 

Thank you all ....wow I didn't know you could eat sprout tops...will give them a try and let you know my thoughts and yes Freddy my name is a mouthful, but took my inspiration from photo attached haha looks like I'll be getting a healthy mouthful of sprout tops too lol

 

Oh sorry I think I've made a faux pas, I think I've unknowingly posted this thread twice. Will find and delete. So sorry and to be sure JWK your advice was invaluable. Thanks and sorry too

 

Thank you
