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...
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 ...
Pre-sprouting seeds: Lay the seeds on a damp paper towel, roll up the towel, and place it in a plastic bag; seal the bag and keep it in a warm place until seeds germinate; then place seedlings in individual pots. Seed-starting soil temperature: 80-90°F (27-32°C) Indoor seed sta...

A germination test can be performed easily with the wet paper towel/baggie method. Just place a few seeds in a damp paper towel or coffee filter & seal them in a plastic baggie. Your seeds should germinate within 10 days or less. If you see no signs of growth – it’s time to go ...
To start the seeds, I undo the last two folds of the filter paper, and spritz both sides with tap water using a general-purpose spray bottle. The goal is to get the paper evenly moist but not sopping wet. When I go overboard and saturate the filter, I simply lay it flat on the ...
Or, easier still, lay your seeds onto moistened paper towel, fold it over, then roll it up and place into a sealed plastic bag to retain moisture. Don’t forget to label the bag. Germinate in ideal conditions for that particular seed type, then unravel every few days after the...
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...
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...
