Been awhile since the last post, life’s been a little hectic to say the least. Seems no matter how well I plan there’s always some reason why I can’t get something done as quickly or in the fashion I intended.
With three littles underfoot time is hardly easy to come by it seems but I/we press on. I had intended to start a lot of plants to sale for extra money, however mice got into my seedlings and decimated half of my plants.
That being said I have probably started more than I need and still have a great number of seeds left to plant. I’ve decided every season to try at least three different new varieties and or types of plants to see what works best and what we like eating or can sell.
The boys love mac and cheese and ate a lot of the individule servings this winter, I kept the empty containers thinking they might come in handy for growing plants.
My plan was to make soil blocks but for reasons I haven’t figured out just yet my soil isn’t holding together like it should but that’s a subject for another post.
Here are the cantaloupe seedlings I have in some mac and cheese cups now, so far so good.
For drainage I put a hole on the side instead of the bottoms, my thinking is that some water will be retained in the soil without drowning plants. It’s an experiment for me so we will see how it goes. This particular cup is from potatos but the concept is the same.
Not sure if any of my posts helps anyone else or not but but if they do please feel free to like, share and comment.
