April's best tip

There were so many wonderful tips, we tried several of them ourselves and look forward to seeing the fruits vegetables of our labor.

Our gardening guru of the month, Rebecca Kolls has chosen the most useful tip for getting seeds started.

And the winner is…

CanCan (Mom Most Traveled) who used toilet paper rolls as “self-contained mini pots”.

Rebecca says:  This is a great idea for various reasons.  I love the recycling/reusing element..but this idea cuts down on time and becomes part of the soil over time.

Being the gardening genius that she is, she adds:  open the bottom of the “pot” before planting and push the seedling 1 inch below, you’ll create a collar around the top of the plant which would protect it from cutworm!
