As I mentioned previously, my mother-in-law can grow anything. This woman has more knowledge about plants in her green thumb than I have in my entire body. Every year she starts her seeds indoors—both flowers and vegetables. Here's the kicker. She doesn't even buy most of her seeds. She saves them from the previous year's plants, dries them and voila. Seeds. I'm pretty sure we've been eating the same family of tomatoes since I married into the family.
She also doesn't use fancy pots or gimmicky things to start her seeds. She is a recycler though and through.
Since it's now that time of year to get ready to plant, here are a few ideas for containers to start your own seeds.
COFFEE CUPS
MUSHROOM TRAYS
STYROFOAM MEAT TRAYS
What kind of containers do you use to start your seeds?
