Starting Seedlings

March 10, 2010

Starting SeedlingsI used a discarded zip container that a comforter was in and an unused Rubbermaid container to start an indoor greenhouse. I used peat pots and seeds gleaned from last fall's bounty. In a week, the seeds have started to sprout! I placed it inside in a sunny window.

Snow on the ground doesn't need to hinder your getting an early start on planting your spring seeds. Grab some gallon milk jugs and follow the steps in this page for starting seeds in the snow.

Start your seeds in plants already growing in the house instead of using many small cups for starting your plants ahead of the growing season.

In addition to serving as "food" in a few months, these plantings are helping me to "Think Spring" and avoid the winter blues! Some of the planters have just one seed-type, others have a variety.

At this time, my garden is under snow and frozen slush. I love gardening, and this nasty weather can really put me in the dumps.

To conserve moisture while the seeds germinate, is the only reason that comes to my mind.

I save the cardboard centers from toilet paper. These are excellent for starting seeds for my garden in the early spring. When the conditions are right for planting, I simply plant seedling in its cardboard core.
