Since its spring, I'm going to talk a little bit about planting. I started my indoor planting a bit early, like back in late Feb! Was just a wee bit impatient. Now I have about 50 some tomato plants around 8-14 inches tall, both kidney beans and jacobs golden cattleman dry beans, also the same height, a few peppers,pickling cuc's.
I've tried a couple different ways of starting the seeds. Bought the pellets that you soak in water and they expand, the seedling trays where you just add the soil, homemade newspaper pots. I've had the most success with the pellets. Now, as for transplanting into bigger pots and yes you do need to do this, they quickly out grew their little starters. Unless you have unlimited money, especially after buying grow lights ( I have 8) several bags of soil,stands to set everything on, it can get pricey. So instead of buying larger pots, unless I find some at a thrift store, I've devised a better way. Gallon milk or water jugs, rinsed out, just cut around the top, about 4 inches, right thru the handle, but you want to leave most of handle intact, that way you have a way to carry it. Just remember to poke several holes in bottom for drainage and place in a pie tin or whatever tray you have on hand. Happy planting! Mrs. Prepper
