gardening in spring - growing from seed

egg cartons are very useful things


toilet rolls too... especially in the garden, esp in spring...

i have been collecting these, and cutting them up...



after abit of folding...





they become biodegradable seed raising pots...



egg cartons are easier, only need abit of a cutting up...
and soil can be scooped in to house the seeds...
toilet rolls seed raising tubs are good as they fit into take away containers...

and can be covered and transformed into a mini green house to minimise moisture loss and maximise warmth in the sun...

hopefully the new seeds will come out like these v soon...

mcduck and snowflake stayed home and won't go with me last night, so i went to my first permaculture north talk yesterday by myself... and it was excellent! and i got a new member's folder and some egg cartons from the "recycle roundabout"... and able to listen to an inspirational talk... there ar emore inspirational activities down the track too...

also got this card from the mail yesterday, as dear dear friend rego me and snowflake (she got another letter with membership card too) on the eden garden membership (for the freebies - she said)...

and real bargain it'll be as there'll be a free coffee waiting for me to collect every month! and it is free to join! thank you dear dear friend for signing me up... "where's my memb card?", mcduck complained.
