I also use my own newspaper pots. I love growing plenty of herbs so I can give them to my friends to try.
Tomatoes grow perfect in newspaper pots also, I need to get hold of some heirloom seeds though!

Ok, I just posted about this too. But this time I linked you. Although, I can’t read the post above because it’s likely better than mine

This is very odd though, what, am I channeling you or something? I always knew I could read minds

[...] These are a couple of good ways to start organizing your garden this year. For many more gardening tips, from someone who knows her way around the garden far better than I do, visit Mother Earth’s Garden. In fact, I just now went to grab a link for Mother Earth’s Garden, and that darn Linette has a post up about seed starting, which I did not read, since I’m sure it rocks, and will make me jealous. But, you can read it: Starting Your Own Seeds. [...]

Mother Earth, like the name, we tried starting onions from seed this year for the first time, getting some unique varieties just for fun. They seeds germinated quickly and some were recently planted in the ground outside. We are zone 7.

Have you ever tried starting seeds using the
“baggie” method? It’s very easy and gives a good jump start on the germination. For most types of plants you get little seedlings with roots and a leaf or two within a week.

I have some zinnias and carnations that I started in baggies 3 weeks ago that are already about 3″ tall. I have delphiniums that I started at the same time and they are about 2″ tall.

It really is instant gratification.
