from Lilledale
I don't think seedlings could look any cuter! This is the oh so adorable idea of Lilledale from last year. It's a celebration & a fresh start to new beginnings all at the same time. I love it!
I had better clear the air first. I am not an expert by any means when it comes to gardening. I love the joy in seeing something you've planted that was very small, grow to be abundant & produce fruit or veggies of your labour. But for the record, I don't like all that labour. ;) I've watched my mom do it as long as I can remember (if that even counts??? ;) but I'm still rather clueless about some things when it comes to gardening. I do know ~ 'tis the season for inside seedlings, planning & prep work to prepare your soil. So here's a round up of some ideas I've found & love.
Luckily for me, I have 3 little kids who love dirt & I *hope* have the passion about watching things grow like my mom does.
Here's an excellent post on the best time to start seeds.
Make your own DIY potting soil - there's a video to watch as well.
Cheap & basically free newspaper pots. So easy.
Toilet Paper rolls. I mean seriously...so clever, right?
LOVE this DIY plastic terrarium. There's hardly any English written in this post, but I think we can all grab the concept behind her genius idea.
More eggs. But so fun for the little kids because of the size.
I don't know about all of you, but I cook with lemons a lot & we eat oranges like crazy. Such a cool idea!
I threw this in the mix. I may be "reaching" a tad...but I noticed this pallet is attached to a wall on a porch. Obviously, not inside but in warmer climates - it may just work for seedlings.
The plan is to buy some seeds this weekend & let the kids each have a dozen eggs to plant seeds in. Here's hoping they each have some that grow like crazy!!!
Anyone else planting seeds soon?

These are such sweet ideas! We have had such a warm winter, that I say ...bring on spring!! ;)
Here in New England, we have had a nice winter (that translates into hardly any snow). We just ate the last of the kale from the garden. My husband has been working on his compost pile since fall - he calls it his "black gold". It's time to start the seedlings - these ideas are terrific.
Thanks for sharing my little Eggy planters. The best part is that when you are ready to plant them you just dig a hole, crack the shell and plant the whole thing. Have a great day!
