Planting Seeds
We started planing seeds the other day.
I used an old cake pan to set the little cups in. I did put a cardboard down so they wouldn't tip over on the grooves.
Since we moved I didn't have a huge collection of covered deli trays so I bought some little dixie type cups. It was $2 for 100 so not a bad deal. I punched a hole in the bottom of each to give drainage.
I planted things like tomatoes in these. That way I don't have to move them to a larger container before I put them in the ground.
The rest of the plants I put in the 10 or so deli trays I did have. My lettuce is already up and ready to go outside! Yeah! At $1.39 for a head of lettuce I'm happy about that!
I had a ton of "help" so it did go slowly and as you can see I felt like I was one step closer to death that day. :-)
I forced myself to sit up and get it done even though it was the last thing I wanted to do. I'm glad I did because now I have some great starts going!
As you can see in the picture, I never did find a polish trick that would work. I tried all the suggestions and I got it to stay on for 24 hours but that was it.
Oh well, my nails are gone now already for this year so I will try again next year. :-)
Happy Planting!

We use the paper egg carton for planting seeds. poke a small hole in the bottom and put your dirt and seed in and just cut and plant them when time to drop them in the ground. we also cut the lid off.
