Hello,
I wanted to get some seeds started for the year, due to the tons of snow we still have. So I wanted to figure something out that would not cost a dime. I came up with this:


Happy planting and lets all hope there isn't the 48" that the farmers almanac is calling for.

I hope this works, if it does I will be happy. I made some potato salad today and used the rest of my eggs. I was so excited to get another egg carton. I had a good many do well last year in egg cartons, but those were not made into green houses. And in my childhood with girl scouts they worked well.

In one of the last MJF magazines there was directions for starting seeds in a plastic food take out package. I'm going to get that one out and try it myself to start seed before I put them in the garden. I've not had much success with the egg cartons, but will try that again too and see what happens.

That's clever!! Save a egg carton for the Spring Swap.
