Trash to treasure gardening :)
Progress is happening in the portable greenhouse set up in my dining room. The French door provides light to all of the shelves in the unit. You can see here how the newspaper pots turned out holding some beefsteak tomato plants.

I am glad to have found your blog. I see you are starting your garden. I was actually just talking to my daughter (27) about us starting a garden this year. She was all for it and we are getting excited. We haven't done anything yet, but it is getting REAL close to planting time so we have a lot of work ahead the next few weeks. I think we had our last frost this past week.
Those newspaper pots are great. I really like them. (thanks for sharing the how-to!) They hold the moisture and don't mold. The dixie cups I cup down and used are causing mold to grow on the soil. I'm disappointed about that but the seedlings don't seem to be affected by it. What a nifty greenhouse you have...I'm planning on doing all my transplanting into the newspaper pots. Today I started some Portulaca seeds, and Impatiens...and marigolds. Oh yes and I had bought a buzzybee seed kit and started some ornamental red peppers and delphiniums. Those peppers make the prettiest house plants but look out if you touch them and then your eyes! Still knitting?
