Seedlings!

So this year my veggie garden is being started as seedlings. 014 Uh…actually, that happens every year, only usually the seedlings are grown in a greenhouse or farm or the magic land that makes tomato plants before I buy them at Home Depot. This year I started with seeds and am attempting to make my own little nursery. When we got the seeds, we also picked up one of those seed starter kits, that has the planter and     little peat discs and everything and while that’s great…I had way more seeds than what could fit in 32 slots. So I looked online and found a great idea for seedlings…toilet paper roll pots! They are free (with purchase of toilet paper), you don’t need them and they are super cute! Look how adorable they are!

010011You just cut the roll in half, cut little slots in the end of each half and fold them in. Best yet, when it’s time to plant the seedlings, you can just pop the whole thing in and the cardboard roll with just biodegrade. How awesome is that? Now I have plenty of spaces to grow lots of veggies and flowers…oh, and I’m going to try to grow catnip as well. Because why should the people get all the garden goodies?012
