If you need to start seedlings early, cut a TP roll in half and fill with dirt. You can tie four or so together with twine to help them stay up right. You save those plastic containers and reuse those rolls that gather.
Maybe some of you have seen this or its been mentioned before but as we start getting excited about planning this years garden you might want to start saving those TP rolls.

I've been saving mine for months!!! Starting seeds as soon as I get home on Friday evening!

My family thinks I'm crazy, but they just roll their eyes and keep collecting TP rolls for me!
I'm looking to make a cold frame this year to extend my season out. Anyone have any ideas?
Also interested in a inexpensive greenhouse. One that could be moved easily if needed. Ideas?

I have a ways to go before I plant seeds but that is a great idea so I will have to try it with my grandson. It's an activity I'm sure he will enjoy, he's real good at making messes.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

Can you plant the TP rolls in the ground after starting a seed in them? (Sorry if this is a dumb question! LOL)

I'll bet you CAN plant the TP rolls right in the ground. I start my seeds in egg cartons, and just "plant" the little section with the seedling in it right in the ground (they're the cardboard cartons, not the foam/plastic ones) and it works great. I love the TP roll idea, too! I'll bet the size is better than egg carton spaces - they're pretty small for some of the larger seeds...
XOXO, Libbie

I'm so ready to start all mine next week. I don't have near enough TP rolls for this year, but will start collecting for next and get my mom to save hers too.
