I love gardening but as baby girl is expected in late May, I just don't think I'm going to
A). have the energy to plant a garden
or
B) have the time and energy in June to care for those little seedlings.
So when I found this on Pinterest I thought I'd give it a try.
We planted Parsley in a Dole Orange Juice container but I fear the parsley is doomed from the get go. When I brought the seed packet home, I read the instructions on the back. However, two weeks later when we get around to planting them, I forgot that it said to soak the seeds in warm water overnight. I may do some replanting damage control sometime this week.
In a 24 ounce Mountain Dew bottle, an olive jar and a mason jar, we planted sweet basil. The jars are obviously not self watering. Their demise will be my fault.
And in a 2 liter bottle, we planted green onions.
I will be on the lookout for other recycle plastic containers to put on top to help preserve heat and moisture. I also need to remember to move the plants from the windows on these below zero nights.
If it works and the plants survive, I'll transplant them outside in the Spring.
If not, at least it gave us something to do and maybe we'll try it again next year.
