Speaking of the weather, Spring has decided to come very early to Minnesota this year. It is so hard to believe that a couple of weeks ago we had tons of snow and now it is all gone and everything is coming to life! I also know though that it is way early and winter could still decide to return. It is still nice to have the warmer weather.
I used old egg cartons to start my seeds in this year. I use Eggland's Best eggs and my recylcing company doesn't take the styrofoam cartons so I decided to get one more use out of them before they become trash. I don't know why I didn't think to use them before - they are just the right size. I cut holes in the bottom for drainage and then I cut them into sections of how ever many I wanted - some (like tomatoes and peppers that I plant a lot of) I kept as a dozen - others are cut into sections of 4 or 6 - very versitale. I wrote on the side with a sharpie what I had planted inside.
Here's to a fantastic gardening season for all gardener's everywhere!
love your posts!! I cannot wait to follow another summer
ReplyDeleteHi Kathi! It feels good to be gardening again, doesn't it? I have pepper and petunia seeds up and growing, and started tomatoes a couple days ago. I have peas, spinach, and lettuce growing in the garden.
ReplyDeleteWow Connie - I'm jealous. Andy wants to grow peas this year and I haven't grown them in years. I was wondering if it was too early to plant them - it sure got warm early this year.
ReplyDeletePhew - I was thinking that I started my seeds too late 3/14 - but maybe it's not. We are trying peas too - still working on setting up the garden. We are building two raised beds this year.
