guess what


IS a must-have, starting really soon?


okay then! i have no patience.


the ad for this says "roll your own." hmmmm. anyway, you see of course that this is a maple "pot maker." the idea is that it somehow rolls and tucks plain ole newspaper into really cute little peat pots! i did some google research, and apparently they are "all that." one thing that really bugs me is that i am trying to be resourceful by growing my own veggies, and then i spend a ton of $$ on the sexy stuff you need to grow them! i thought this was a good way to try to avoid buying containers for the seedlings. i also have saved a winter's worth of egg cartons, to get things going. then i would transfer to these, which can be planted directly in the soil.

gosh. i don't even know who i am anymore, but i kind of like me.

Oh, crud. Tell me exactly what to do and when to do it, please. I so want a salsa garden, but I just don't have time to figure it all out for myself.
