I bought 2 of the little mini-green houses, and built a little cart for them to sit on. When the weather is warming up a bit, I wheel them outside during the day, then back into the garage for the night. They hold a lot of heat under the plastic, and it can be unzipped to start the hardening...

Oh yeah... If you're ever in Maine, and see a lady bending over the petunia beds at McDonalds... and every other public planting, Doing a little dead heading, and stuffing mature seed heads in her pocket... that's probably me. From July to November, my pockets always have at least a few...

I love to save petunia seeds. collect them every where I go.

Impressive eye candy petunia!

Arielle, I don't have anything growing in my green house right now. The plastic is needing to be replaced and is very well ventilated due to UV break down and the cats thinking it is a fine place to perch and survey their domain. But the girls do love to go in and dust bathe. It still warms...

Nice idea for those of you in more temperate climates. Here in the north, the seedlings show up barely in time to get them in the ground to get a crop out of them b/fore they are killed off by frost!

Last week, I was out shoveling a bit of my garden so the girls could walk un-hindered to the green house.

We spent more on snow plowing in the month of December than we do in some entire winters. Not to mention the extra wood pellets due to the arctic blasts.

Have you tried putting a very thin layer of straw over the ground after planting. I do when I plant corn, and it disguises the sprouting seeds enough that the crows aren't attracted to it. May be different in your situation with a high density of crows. Got a gun? (kind of just kidding, b/c...

Where do you find petunia seeds... (600 for $3)????? all I ever see is the pelleted seeds, a ridiculous number... like 10 in a package for $3. I will NOT pay for pelleted seeds. But, if you see a lady bent over a window box... or other planting of petunias (or other beautiful flower) in a...

What a nice contagion to have!! I plan to send a pkg out tomorrow. Nice idea. I start a whole batch of seedlings in a single cup, then transplant them into individual cups. Pudding cups are handy to use too. My beans get started in my seed sprouter. Corn and peas also. The faster it's out...

I find that my favorite starter pot is a Styrofoam cup. Poke holes in the bottom, often put vertical cuts in the sides as well, and stuff them into plant flat trays. They seem to do much better than the 6 packs that come with the trays. Don't know if it's b/c they are bigger, or perhaps the...

I almost always start all of my own plants. I save seed where practical, buy a few sets here and there, especially flowers. Marigolds, cosmos, calendula, petunia, nasturtium always get started from seed. Currently going through a medical crisis involving recurrent lapses of concentration...
