Start Your Winter Veggies in a Sunny Window

As fall approaches, it is time to start planning for your winter garden. I found this picture on an adorable blog called The Lark. What a great way to recycle your tea tins! You can plant your starter seeds in these sweet tins until ready to transfer them to a bigger pot or bed in the yard. I also have been storing up toilet paper rolls to use as little pots for my seedlings to grow in. You can find a complete tutorial for starting seeds in toilet paper rolls on the ehow website. Here is a picture of their final product:

We have just begun prepping our raised boxes for our winter garden, pulling the weeds and clearing out the expired plants. I also plan to add some compost to enrich the soil. I will keep you posted on our progress and share pictures as well. I hope this winter we have large harvest of greens and root vegetables.
