The arugula and lettuces are going crazy, the herbs are taking a little longer to start.
I have also sprouted lentils! I have been wanting to try sprouting different legumes. The lentils sounded easy and seemed like they would make a tasty snack. To sprout, take your lentils, pick out any dead beans, and rinse well. Put the lentils in a Ball jar and add water to cover the beans by about an inch. Take a piece of cheese cloth, or honestly I just used a paper towel and screw the lid ring over it. Place the lentils in a cabinet overnight.
The next day, pour off the liquid, rinse the beans a few times and then put back in the jar for another overnight in the cabinet. After about a day or two you'll start to see sprouts starting. Continue to rinse every day until eventually your sprouts are an inch or so long. Then they're ready to eat!
I tossed some with a little salt and pepper as a snack. They were even better added to a salad and are full of vitamins and minerals.

Good for you! I have a horrible time with sprouting seeds indoors, you'll have to give me some tips.
