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.

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

Forget buns of steel, I'd rather have buns of cinnamon!

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.

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.
