If you follow my blog Key Elements than you know that we (my family) has had the flu so I am behind in everything but I finally started planting. I purchased a grow starter kit at Dollar General and a starter mix along with seed from Menards and Walmart.
I placed the mix into each compartment and the seed sparingly. Water lightly and then secure the clear dome .
Now, in order to be certain of what I planted in each compartment, I simply use a sketch pad and draw a rough (really rough) picture of the planter. I use a little paint and mark the front left corner of the planter, this way even if the lid should be turned, you'll know what you've got. As I place the seeds, I write in each box.
Very crude but Hey! it works. I keep this sketch pad with my Gardening book.
The seeds have to be lightly watered daily and I am lucky enough to have a bay window off of my breakfast nook so that's where they will be sunning. Now, we wait. Meanwhile there is the taks of planning the garden.
