A great way to enjoy SPRING and save money is growing your own plants from seeds!
This is a great project to do with children!! They learn not just from the process, but also from knowing where there food comes from…
Here’s a look at some very easy seeds to start.
Start with a simple plastic growing flat with a dome…
Dr. Earth made it very easy to start seeds ORGANICALLY this year!!!
(Click the pic for more on Dr. Earth)
Step 1: Use a high quality potting soil and mix in 2 tablespoons of Dr. Earth ORGANIC fertilizer with one quart of soil.
Fill each cell to about 2/3 with mixture
Drop Seeds into mixture
Cover lightly with a dusting of more soil mixture
Label cells according to seeds planted
Water thoroughly
Cover with dome and set in warm, sunny window…
The inside of the dome should become moist after a few days. Just about the time you have forgotten about it…you will have little sprouts coming up just like ours!!
