I have not but when I retire I want to try growing something. Anything. I truly have never been successful trying to grow something as I find I have a tendency to over due things. I am hoping I find the patience I will need to start growing stuff. And then I want to start cooking again and use the stuff I grow in my meals. So I am waiting for you to start off with some spices and herbs......

Im starting of with a Broccoli Sprouting Seed Mix, you grow them for 2 weeks and then eat, They are meant to have 4x the nutritional value then full grown crops.

Are you using the soil method?

Yep, About 1 inch of soil, water it, Press it down to create a smooth surface, poor seeds, water again. Place another tray on top, place a weight on top (i use a block of wood) wait 3 days, remove tray, place in indirect sun, wait 5 days, Harvest.
