The time spent on it is lost esp when you are on the side of the planet with limited summer. <br /><br />Cool. You got a freebie seedling tray.With 7 of them I can see you getting busy seed starting in the coming days. Good luck and Happy gardening.<br /><br />GeekGardener.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683942169651110182.post-88804973431600075812009-05-18T22:25:00.000-07:002009-05-18T22:25:00.000-07:00I like your idea about making the paper pots longe...I like your idea about making the paper pots longer for the seeds that root out so quickly. I have always liked making homemade paper pots but noticed they work best for seeds that do not have such large roots as seedlings. This past week I have been trying to figure out if I should start my bush beans indoors or direct seed them. In the past I have had problems with the birds enjoying the seedlings as soon as they emerge. Your long paper pots might be just what I need right now!

Especially when I'm sowing things for others, it makes for easy transport!<br /><br />Patsi- Thanks so much, you're always so encouraging!<br /><br />Megan- Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, it's time to slow down a bit :)<br /><br />Cathy- Be sure to check out the papper pot maker, you won't be sorry :)<br /><br />Jen- Sorry to hear you're having colder than usual weather. We seem to be hitting the 50's now at night and my soil temps are in the 60's and 70's!<br /><br />Grace- I haven't seen a lot of slugs in my yard this year, probably because I put down some Sluggo in the spring- usually don't see any for a long time. I didn't ever figure out what annihilated those beans for sure- be safe, look out for everything!! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by everyone!Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357951823874888877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683942169651110182.post-89480184623461940662009-05-18T21:23:35.475-07:002009-05-18T21:23:35.475-07:00Hi Tessa~~ Two days ago I sowed (in ground) my pur...Hi Tessa~~ Two days ago I sowed (in ground) my purple yard long asparagus beans. They're starting to come up but I didn't think to bait for slugs. I've been so hesitant to plant my tenders but I think finally we are out of the cold weather. It won't be long before we're eating our veggies.

The summer crops at least are mostly plant them and leave them alone except to harvest them. OK you still have some maintenance, but they aren't as time consuming as the cool weather crops that constantly need to be replanted in successions. I'm looking forward to my lazy days of summer right about now.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
