9 tips & tricks on How to grow seedlings via Nest of Posies

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?

  1. These are such sweet ideas! We have had such a warm winter, that I say …bring on spring!! ;)

  2. 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.

  3. 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!
