Spring is in the Air
It is snowing outside in my locale, but it doesn’t stop me thinking about spring. One of the first things I do to get ready for the spring is start my garden seedlings. Too bad, I can’t get nature to turn off the snow and get with the spring program, but I can get a jump on gardening inside with eggshells.
1. Save your empty egg carton to hold the eggshells.
2. Tap the top of the shells to preserve as much of the shell to serves as a pot.
3. Remember to rinse out the shell and let it air dry overnight.
4. Fill it about ¾ full of potting soil.
5. Push in one seed only. Cover lightly with soil.
6. Moisten soil. Don’t overwater
7. You can drape Saran wrap over it to speed up the germination process. This turns it into a tiny hot house. Place it near a window.
8. Once the seedling is well established and the chance of frost is gone, plant it shell and all. The calcium within the shell nourishes the seedling and gradually breaks down overtime.
9. If you live in a cold climate, plastic milk cartons serve as tiny hot houses in the garden. Cut off the bottom of the carton and place it over the plant. Keep the cap off during the day to balance out the heat.
