It’s March now, friends and fellow single parents. Think about how tremendously satisfying it would be to have even a few home grown plants to move outside in a month or two? So, simply fill a few small containers with potting soil, plant some seeds, place them under a plant light on a corner of your kitchen counter, and water daily…..voila! If you have even a shred of interest and made it through the previous sentence, I’ll explain better.
Why not repurpose a food container or two for your planting? I did… and also filled a couple of small flower pots with soil. Buy just a small bag of potting soil or seed starter mix at a garden, grocery, or drug store. Choose some seeds. I personally like to get an early start on peppers (spicy for us), coleus (think gorgeous, variegated leaves), and marigolds (unappealing to deer). I also planted a few nasturtium. Some seeds don’t like to be grown indoors. I love sunflowers but only have success when I plant them later on directly into the ground. So, pick your seeds and follow planting instructions on the package.
