Anxious to get started, I decided to start growing some things from seeds just to see how that would work. Early last week, I got some help from a friend at work as well as the garden experts at both Home Depot and Lowe’s. I bought some seeds along with some biodegradable seedling pots, seed starting dirt pellets (Jiffy from Home Depot and Burpee from Lowe’s are what I used), containers for all to hold the water, etc. and got to work.
It was VERY easy to create and once I found pretty much the only place for them to gather sunlight and away from curious kid and dog, I let them be. I was very surprised to see that some of the seeds only took 3 days to start showing signs of life! At the rate the Basil is growing, it will need to be transported to the garden bed soon! The great thing about these seedling pots is that they can be placed directly into the garden’s soil as they will degrade and become part of the soil itself. Nice!
