I’m experiencing some major technical issues with my blog right now – on my computer, mine looks like the first primitive website ever created (or the website I built once for a homework assignment…), and also issues with viewing other people’s (WordPress) blogs which is why I haven’t been making the rounds lately. So far WordPress Support has not been able to help. I’m using my iPad to type this… Keeping my freak-out level as low as I can, but to say I’m feeling frustrated is an understatement, especially in light of the upcoming Virtual Vegan Potluck. Luckily, the VVP site seems to be okay.
And happily, I had the bulk of this post already written…so without further ado, let’s get to some sprouts and a giveaway! I’m really pleased to welcome Todd’s Seeds as a sponsor of the Virtual Vegan Potluck – – and excited to be able to share some beautiful sprouting seeds with one lucky winner. Head over to the VVP blog to enter for your chance to win. In the meantime, enjoy the sprout eye candy:
UPDATE: Todd just emailed me and asked me to offer to everyone a 20% discount on items purchased from the Sprouting Seeds and Sprouting Supplies categories at Todd’s Seeds. Just plug in offer vegan at checkout. One discount per person, good through the end of the year. Thanks, Todd!
Broccoli Sprouts:
Mung Bean Sprouts:
Just for fun, here’s some wheatgrass – from start to maturity – also from Todd’s Seeds.
And now it’s time to win some seeds!
I like composing blog posts on my iPad – the dictation feature makes it easier. 🙂
Interesting, Rachael. Thank goodness for my iPad – it’s the only way for me to access my blog! I haven’t tried uploading photos from it yet…
They all look beautiful! I’m really sorry to hear about your WP problems, that sounds immensely frustrating and I hope it fixes itself very soon.
You should see how your blog looks to me! As screwy as mine! Argh! At least everything looks normal to viewers…
Your blog looks totally normal to me, how weird.
The main wordpress page isnt showing notifications at all to me anymore, I need to go on my blogs page and get to them via that, SIGH, wordpress……
I know…I’m about ready to switch, but to what?!
I like the look and feel of wordpress but it’s getting too glitchy
Those sprouts look so good!! Thanks for the giveaway
You’re welcome – good luck!
You’re welcome! Thanks for visiting!
This looks awesome my friend! Thanks for the healthy eye candy 😉
Also hope your problems fix up soon!
Cheers

Sorry to hear about your blog issues! That’s always so stressful, and the timing is never good! At times like those, I always wish technology was like a person I could just talk to and reason with instead of having to figure out its language and the underlying problem.
Right!! Why don’t computers know my language ;-)?!
I absolutely love sprouting my own seeds and legumes! They are all so crisp and refreshing, not to mention super nutritious! Hope you get things fixed!
Thanks! Me, too! Thanks for entering the giveaway!
Booo to tech issues. Wish I could help but I can never figure out my own blog’s problems 🙁
I can figure out very basic stuff, but this is way beyond my skills. Thank goodness for my iPad – it’s the only way I can access my blog!
Yum to Todd’s Seeds 😛 Boo to blogger tech issues…. take a deep breath and hope things are cleared up soon. Munching on some of these beautiful sprouts should make you smile at least! Good luck Annie 🙂
I KNOW you’re entering this one ;-)!
Super frustrated right now. I’m dead in the water; can’t even access my admin pages.
Oh my gosh…thats weird since VVP is fine. Reminds me of my mood when I changed to self hosted. But at least then I could see what they were doing XD
Pssst: it’s fixed!! There was a problem w/ the Gateway IP address – a DNS issue. Crazy!
Good to hear it got fixed. It always blows when sites go down…but thankfully it is usually ok in the end.
A huge relief. And (as is usually the case) it was a very simple fix. The difficult part was figuring out what was wrong.
This sounds like an exciting give away.
Todd’s is a super company and if you love sprouts, this is the giveaway to enter.
Today’s must do – Begin Sprouts!
Yes! Go :-)!
I love bean sprouts!
Yay for sprouts!!
I’ve been wanting to find a site that sells seeds for this purpose and I’m so glad I found this! Sprouts in the store are overpriced and it’s just so easy and fun to make at home. Excited about this!
That’s great, Maria! I’ve never had a failure with these seeds. They sprout fast and grow beautifully.
Your site looks ok to me, I hope you get things worked out!! The only sprout on here that I have actually grown was wheatgrass!! LOVE it!
Had planned to research how to sprout in a jar. You have saved me a lot of time.
This is just what I was lookng for…..Seeds from you would be most helpful.
Thanks!
There’s really nothing to it! Thanks for entering the giveaway!
T swore black and blue I was going to dump Worpress and go to greener pastures… I even had a Blogger blog sorted out BUT then I realised that Blogger was actually worse and that you lose SO MANY WordPress comments because of their stupid cachpha system so I stayed with WordPress (grumbling all the way but whachagonnadoeh? sigh…)
Blogger is awful! I had/have a blog with them and I found it very cumbersome. Thankfully, my computer woes are over! I’m back in bizness!
Excellent! By the way Annie…I know you are REALLY busy but did I manage to actually sign up for Vegan Potluck this year? I filled in a form but am not sure if I am registered?
Not too busy for you, luv! You are all signed up :-)!
WOOT! I have already done my post…champing at the bit to post it now :). I am SO excited! Like a child going to kindergarten for the very first time 🙂
Color me IMPRESSED!!
Nah…I am just type A Annie ;). I also have a fully qualified accountant son who had to have gotten it from somewhere (read list maker extraordinaire! 😉 ). Couldn’t be having anything less than my best work for something as important as this event. I am SO excited to be included in the same breath as some of my vegan food heroes and you and Somer are right up there at the top :).
I take a Tbl of ground broccoli seed (and milk thistle) a day, per my doctor. I too have a wheatgrass and sunflower sprout (homegrown) shot, plus eat 1/4c sprouts daily. Food as medicine is making all the difference for me, but is hard to maintain while unemployed (due to illness). I was so excited to see this seed giveaway for that reason. Winning a bag of sprouting seed would help me restock my Farmacy! <3
That’s impressive, Treesa! I’ve never heard of grinding the seeds! I wish you the best with your health. It sounds as if you are taking care of yourself and I totally agree with you that food is the key. Best of luck winning the giveaway!
I just heard about broccoli sprouts the first time the other day, now they’re popping up everywhere =)
Broccoli sprouts are the new kale :-)!
I LOVE broccoli sprouts! I eat them on my veggie burgers all the time.
Oh yeah- that’s a great way to eat them!
i hope the tech issues are on their way to resolving themselves. 🙂
i’ve never sprouted broccoli.. everything else, yes.. loads of beans, lentils, peas!
I’m back online! Woohoo!
You’re way ahead of me on sprouting…still a novice over here!
I hope all of your word press troubles get sorted out soon, Annie! I’m so inspired by your beautiful sprouts! I’m headed to the kitchen right now to start some of my own! 🙂
