With the weather in Chicago finally becoming warmer (it’s hit and miss still at times), I am looking forward to the many hobbies that I can start back up. Like canning, cooking local/seasonal foods, and trying my hand at gardening. Yes, I am truly a novice gardener. And to be honest, I’m not easily inspired to garden most days. Most of my results start and end like this:
But, given my love of local food and the urgency to be cheap, I decided to try my hand yet again at growing fruits and veggies this year. One cheap way of starting seeds is to use a used strawberry container. Here is a picture of mine.
Wish me luck.
