Seedbox


This is something every gardener should have, but if every gardener should have one, then every gardener also needs my dad! On Christmas morning, my last present (the one that used to be hidden behind the curtains by father Christmas!) was this, handmade by daddy! He loves woodwork, designing and making things, but on the whole, all will testify, these projects take much longer than expected! Many nights dad spent in the garage making this from the various odds and ends of wood he has accumulated over the years. He then waxed it to a beautiful finish.


Well, the hard work was worth the effort. As well as the many various sections, the box also has two little boxes inside to hold the seeds from the packet. You can take just the seedboxes out with you or the whole case, useful for carrying all those other things you find yourself needing as you begin to plant: string, trowels, dibbers, etc. I can't wait for my little plug plants to arrive and for the time to plant my seeds out so I can make full use of all the compartments!

Thanks dad x

Hi Merlotti

I enjoyed looking at your garden pictures!!! I was wondering how to you prep the soil and what kind of fertilizers you use? Esp. for vegetables... your vegetables look nice and big... when I plant mine they hardly grow.... I was also wondering if you can write about when do you cover the plants... it's cool how you re-use bottles to cover... so for ex. should we cover seeds right after planting in soil or cover after the seeds have sprouted... I'm a beginner gardener... :)

Thanks,
Pauline.
