Cottage Cheese, spread butter, ricotta cheese, chip dip are all good too!!

For those 6pk containers like you get in nursery's in places right now in stores like the Dollar General, Family Dollar and Home Value stores...

Sure I have the 6 pkt too but it ends up being costly, if you do the large amount that I carry.

For here, in the Dollar General store,
there's those flats' of 8 6pks, on a tray
and also has a dome to cover for moisture enclosure, were $3.50, I actually didn't thing that was toooooooooo bad for those trays...
I've seen them for way more and almost doubled or tripled on the internet...

I agree though..
It can all get sooooooooo costly after awhile
with soil, fert's, containers, seeds and stuff..

Right

But then again, buyin' flats' of flowers
that are $15.00, $18.00, $20.00 a FLAT!! :p

I agree, Weezie! Been there, done that for way too many years.

I have a cutest tray up there now with salvias
must be 12 pk.
they are nice an even Red Arrow salvia I think.
Have to learn to resize for on here..

Sounds to me like your seedlings spiked. My morning glories did that one year. And its not from lack of sunlight sweetie but from actually to much sun to soon. Try planting your seeds in a soil less seed starter mix and follow the bag very closely, not the actual seed package. This means don't give them sunlight until you see them sprout up. Then stick them in a window with lots of sunlight. This year I'm starting a lot of my plants from seedlings and I've followed the seed starter soil bag very closely. And guess what to my surprise I already have some very healthly plants starting to sprout up. Impressive. And thats quite a challenge because according to the seedling packages it requires me to start a lot of them indoors in March. The funny thing is, we can't plant out anything safely until at least the first week of June, in case of frost. I've pretty much have had great succession with all but one seed that I ever tried to plant. And that was before I started using a seed starter mix. Around $4.00 a bag and worth every penny.

That sounds great........

Ole me just likes to see what I can take on.
I planted a whole slew of poppies outside today it was snowing.......They are covered.
But I want to see what happens, cause they hate to be transplanted....

Next week I will put out columbines if the snow melts......
