Re: Is anyone working in the garden yet?

I need to yank out a bunch of mint before I can start turning soil and we didn’t have very good luck last year between what we think was too old seeds, weather, and animal. Might need to add some stuff to the dirt. I want to do carrots again, and onions as well. Not sure what else yet. Maybe an eggplant or two, zucchini/yellow squash, and some herbs - those I might actually try to get into a pot or smaller box though. I wonder if one of those plastic shoeboxes might work? If I put some rocks on the bottom and then the dirt on top? I don’t have a sunny side window sill I can use for a box so I’ll have to be able to set it outside I think.

Just an FYI: Old Miracle Grow will kill your seedlings, too. If you use it, make sure it's newer.
DH's grandmother always started her seeds in paper milk cartons turned sideways. (We usually got seedlings from her, she had so many.) But were you thinking of keeping them in the plastic box or just starting them that way?
