My new mudroom has been turned into a greenhouse and I think I like it. After running some errands in town yesterday morning, the children and I started some seeds indoors. We used old egg cartons, seed starting medium (from Lowe's) and herb seeds as well as pumpkin.
I filled the cartons with the seed starting mix and dampened it slightly. The children added the seeds. Then I topped off the seeds with a thin layer of the mix and we moved the egg cartons from the kitchen to the mudroom.
I'm hoping to have some herbs growing in the house for the winter. The pumpkins will, if they sprout, go into the garden for the fall. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

LOVE this idea with the egg crates!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use egg cartons. I need to grow some wood ruff as a ground cover. I might try this.
ReplyDeleteThat's fun! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI never have any luck starting plants indoors. You have a great set up there and a nice window, you should have great success I think :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great project for the kids.
Great setup! I have problems getting enough light when I start seeds - your mud room looks perfect, though.
