I continued with the egg carton plantar for my chive and butterhead lettuce seeds, but modified...after all I learn from my lessons! Instead of using only egg cartons and cardboard rolls (aka. things that absorb water and rot), I decided I needed to get some plastic in the picture. I have been going through a huge hard-boiled egg kick, so bought a pack of 18. I saved the top from that jumbo carton, which was plastic and shaped in such a way that it became the perfect elevator for the drainage while subsequently allowing air to circulate, thus preventing mold! Problems solved!
Now for the other lesson learned: which side did I plant which seeds on? Shoot! This time I marked the side with the chives with red marker while the side with the lettuce have no markings. I'm putting out fires all over the place...move over Martha Stewart!
