When you don't have all of the latest and greatest seed growing apparatus....use what you have. The six inches of sleet we received four weeks ago has finally melted enough so I can open the door to my little greenhouse! Hurray!

However....I wanted to start some of the cold crops seeds, after all it was time...but most of the supplies were trapped because of the snowcrete. So I used what was available and the seedlings are thriving. Here are a few of the things I used....

🌱 Cardboard box bottoms from our Gatorade purchases
🌱 Cheap plastic shower caps to create the terrarium effect and hold moisture.
🌱 Unscented trash bags to line the cardboard box to hold moisture and keep the box from deteriorating and making a mess.
🌱Grow light hung from the bottom of an old table.
🌱Heating pad to keep the seeds warm over night.
🌱 Large plastic totes to set the seeds on to keep them close to the grow light. (Keeps the seedlings from getting tall and lanky)
🌱Small fan now that the seedlings are up to help give them strength.

These little plants are thriving just as much in the makeshift starter trays as they would in the green house that I've been "snowed out" of for the past month.

Intentional....something done deliberately, purposefully or by design! The struggle is real today to be intentional at work when my heart of hearts wants to be in the greenhouse....soaking in the sunshine and planting seeds for my garden!

Anyone else feeling that way??

Making homemade vanilla has become one of my favorite DIY projects. This past year I've added some extra ingredients such as bananas, oranges and even cranberries. The vanilla not only smells amazing but it adds so much flavor! I will be sharing some of the recipes during the month of October since the holiday baking season is almost here.
