I was planning to build a
raised bed or two for a larger vegetable garden this year but as we rounded the
bend in the river of life certain events called for a change of course.I’ll just be planting a few tomatoes,
carrots, and lettuce this year in the same spot I did last year which is not
very big and not raised.However unlike
last year I’m starting the seeds early. So last Friday the 13th I
planted some seeds in plain old paper cups. I poked a few holes in the bottom of
each cup, slipped in a piece of coffee filter that I had cut to size for the
bottom, filled it with potting soil, and stuck in a few seeds.I borrowed an idea Lauren had showed to me
from her Pinterest board where you
use a clear plastic tote as a mini-greenhouse.I think it’s a brilliant idea and I can take it with me easily if we go
away for a few days.
