Seed Starts, March 1. Reflection from Owen.

          Hello, I just wanted to post this to share how I was trying to start some plants for myself and for the Moccasins to put in the New Growth Veterans Garden.

          I first made up some starters using a method for winter sowing that consisted of using milk jugs. The jugs were cut in half. Soil was added to just below the cut. Then I proceeded to add the seeds and add water. With the jugs seed I taped the top half of the jug back on and removed the lids. As you can see below I have a few done and really any similar type of container can work so longer as it it rinsed well, and at least semi-translucent.

          I also had some starts inside in some aluminum trays with lids as well as seed start trays from the store. I seeded, watered, and placed these in the same way as the jugs, seen below.

          Hopefully with the sheer diversity and quantity of attempts we’ll see plenty of growth to use in the coming weeks.
