I also bought some more precious metal today. It's the rods in the small greenhouse I picked up today. Now, have to put the precious metal rods together and will have a place to put precious seeds to grow.

Great idea. I have many packages of green onions that I got on sale last week. I read that after cutting off the edible part, I can plant the roots and get more green onions. I think it's warm enough here now to just plant in a planter or the ground, so I will try that tomorrow (after cutting and freezing what's left of the green onions).

I was feeling restless and decided to experiment in the garden today. There’s still snow on the ground in places, but I’m itching to plant, so I made my own wall-o-water.

Cut the bottom off a 20oz plastic bottle and remove the lid. Cut the top and bottom off a larger bottle or milk jug. Place the small bottle over the seedling (well, in this case it was a tomato cutting from my indoor tomato vine), set the larger bottle around the smaller one and anchor it well. Then, fill the space between with plastic baggies full of water.

I have friends who swear by their wall-o-waters, but every time I see them in the store they’re always more than I can spare. We’ll see if my improvised version works. If it doesn’t, I can always snip a few more tomato cuttings.
