So last year I spent WAY too much money on my garden. It was my first year really doing it and I didn't plan ahead very well. This year is going to be much different. I looked up the last frost for my area (April 14th approximately) months ago and have been patiently waiting to plant my seeds. So the time has come, I planted all my seeds that could be started indoors. And guess what?! The tomatoes and zinnias are already sprouting! yippee! The others all take a bit longer to germinate but I also planted snapdragons, jalapenos, and cilantro.
What I did was saved lots of the little plastic containers my plants came in last year and also made more little seed pods out of the inside of toilet paper rolls. These things are great because you can plant them directly in the soil, and you are recycling all at the same time. I put them all on a cute tray, gave them some water, then covered the tray with saran wrap. Voila! Instant super cheap mini green house! Give these babies some sunlight and you will have sprouts in no time!
