Peetee, the incredible nursery dog warming in the sun this morning on a soft bed of mulch.

Great gardens start with great seeds. Not the same-ol, same-ol stuff (we have that too)
Picture
You gotta start some seeds inside in seed starting soil that contains no “dirt.” This company is the marijuana grower’s favorite potting soil. I figure if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for us.
Picture
LETS GET RID OF PLASTIC WHEN POSSIBLE! These pots are made of compressed cow dung! How cool. Start the seeds in these pots then plant the entire pot in the ground. No pollution. Try em.
Picture
These are great little seed starter thingys also. Plop the tiny seeds into the tiny well then place in a tray of good old H2O then watch em grow. Plant the entire thingy after the frost date.
Picture
Back to marijuana growers favorite brand. For container gardening use this stuff. No gravel on the bottom. Don’t use same soil year to year because of pathogens and disease spores in last years soil- you would be asking for trouble.
Picture
Coconut fiber cells for starting seeds- an efficient way to start seeds for a space saving way to grow exactly what you want in the quantity needed. Plant the entire cell coconut fiber pot, plant and all!
Picture
Then refill the plastic tray (use it over and over) with the coconut pot refills. Efficient space savers!
Picture
All this talk of starting up the garden either bores my dog Peetee or tired her out. She never tells me which.
