It’s time. With the last chance of frost set for April 15, it is time to start those tomato seeds. Co-blogger Chris and I worked on ours this weekend and created a series of videos to help you through the seed starting process.
First one up: How to use recycled containers to start your seeds?
What containers are you going to use for your seed starting?
Stay tuned for more seed starting tips this week.
Happy Gardening

We used Trader Joes individual yogurt cups. They work great and our tomato seeds are flourishing! I just wrote a post yesterday about the seedlings and how we are planning on tracking their progress since we are first-timers.

I’ve been using individual-sized Pringles cups (I know, I know) to start basil and catnip this winter. They’re small enough to fit in the windowsill without blocking the view. It’s a little more challenging to get the drainage holes punched, but they are sturdy (and I feel a little better about the Pringles).
