Garden: Homemade Tomato Germination

The weekend project Sunday was making homemade pots from newspaper for germinating tomato seeds (used the technique described in this article). We had a great time washing our hands in the clean earth.

Used a soup can as our template.



Cut strips of newspaper for the pot.

Fill with dirt and tiny little tomato seeds.


Water. And Water.


Waiting for growth in the box.


Not sure if anything will grow, but lots of fun!

That's so awesome! We're fighting rollie pollies that are eating our spinach right now. We've been researching some good ideas to deal with them. Hopefully we get a little before they chomp it all away!

Love you guys!
