my springtime project

newspaper pots!

a very clever woman in portland blogged about these and i am trying it. it is just newspaper wrapped around a bottle or can, carefully slipped off to retain its form, then filled with dirt and seed. i had this wonderful light from iowa that i had to use to keep my african violets alive over the winter (kinda don't need it here) so i am now forcing some gaillardia to grow. i love this idea--i am guessing her soil is quite a bit wetter than mine, so we'll see if it works once in the ground here. go make some!
