I have been planting a vegetable garden out front -because that is where we have sun. :) And while the bees are busy buzzing around our lavender, I thought they would probably pop over to our veggies too. So far, so good. However, the sun has been staying behind the clouds a lot and I am planting the rest of my seeds a bit late. Why not create mini green houses to give the seeds a boost?
Start with your ingredients: Fruit container (mine is from Costco); garden soil; seeds; small piece of wood; nail & hammer. Set the container on top of your scrap wood and hammer a hole in the bottom of each "well."
Fill each section liberally with soil, sew your seeds. Note: with the larger container, I added some holes for venting, as it was airtight.
Label each section of the lid with a Sharpie;
Place in your garden and voila!
I think it took me all of 15 minutes -while I was on the phone talking to a friend. :) And I should probably mention that my soil was already soaked, as I had left it out in the rain. I have never done this before, so if it fails... I will let you know!! Be sure to show me your mini greenhouse designs!
UPDATE: Go here to see the results!
