Germinating Plants (continued)

Finally got my pictures loaded onto the computer! I wanted to put some up of the plants that are germinated so far! There was first one lonely tomato which is shown below, and then it seemed like they all popped. Now there are several cucumbers and tomatoes. I'm still waiting for peppers, watermelon, and pumpkins.

Germinating Plants!

Today I was pleased to find that I have a couple of plants germinated in my green house. One was a cucumber and the other is a tomato plant. Pictures coming soon!

Save those Egg Cartons!

When it comes time to start planting seeds and your looking for nifty ways to reuse materials or keep a tighter budget, try saving up those egg cartons. Many egg cartons are now made of a soft, cardboard like material that is perfect for holding dirt and germinating seeds.

It's a great way for little anyone to get a start at gardening without having to buy lots of trays for germinating. I found this picture on a fellow bloggers page and it is a perfect example of a simple, easy to use germination tray that can hold a large number of seeds.
