To test the waters, place about 10 seeds on a moist paper towel and put the it in a clear plastic sealable bag. After about 10 days, check on your seeds. If half of them have sprouted, you have moderately viable seeds. In this case, oversow a bit with the knowledge that in the ...
We lined thelid of a clear plastic binwith moist paper towels and lined up all the seeds on the paper towel. This was a bit of a slow process, but since the kids were putting more than one type of seeds in a bin we didn’t want a mix up. I love these little decorative seed la...

With the actual miniature greenhouse all set, I turned my attention to the future seedlings! I gathered up some top soil, seeds, jiffy pots, and a spoon to act as a small trowel. Important to not, I’d also checked and doublechecked the size of the floppy disk holder and cut down th...
In those cases, I refold the filter in such a way that the seeds are covered by just one layer of paper, with the rest of the paper underneath. Make sure to mark the baggy with the name of the seed variety! I also mark the date I started the seed, which makes it easier to ...
of ours has already seen just since it’s last makeover. We also found pennies, 22-bullets, seeds, toys and newspaper clippings in the walls from whomever did the last renovation so we’re going to be sure to at least add some coins from 2013 in all the walls we’ve worked on too...
