Seed Saving Envelopes – 08.24.07

August 24th, 2007

As you planning to save seeds this year?

I have been saving medicine bottles to save seeds. But frankly, we don’t get sick here very often, so they’re hard to come by.

So today, I was stumbling around and found a great resource. Here at Blossom Swap, you can print out handy seed envelope templates. Just print, fold, insert seeds and save! There are even options for cute little images, such as flowers, lady bugs, ants and birds.

I’m thinking these would make cute little gifts for my gardening friends too.

Innovative Solutions for Top Heavy Tomatoes – 08.22.07

August 22nd, 2007

While I was traveling to Denver a couple of weeks ago, one of my Brandywine tomato plants became top heavy and toppled, threatening to uproot the plant altogether.

Since my 16-year-old, Ben, was in charge of the garden, he came up with what he thought was a clever solution.

While he gets points for creativity, he loses points on aesthetics.

Yes, that is an electrical cord.

No, I didn’t leave it that way.
