Glad to hear you are going to venture into the world of gardening.  I believe you’ll find it is quite addictive and rewarding.

I’ve saved some old egg cartons for my seedlings this year.  A great way to reuse Styrofoam containers that take forever to decompose.  Most of the time you can use them more than once…that is as long as you take care when transplanting the seedlings.

Enjoyed the article!  I think urban gardening is an excellent way to add a little wholesome country to your life.  Vegetables make great foliage and decoration too!

Happy Urban Gardening!
