Seedlings in Eggshells
Elizabeth and I were in Whole Foods last week waiting in line to check out and we just happened to skim though some magazine (wish I could remember which one!!!) when this seedling in an eggshell picture caught my eye. Their picture was in a beautiful blue shell and perfectly clean (as compared to mine aka the real thing!) but I thought what a cool idea!
Then when I actually did it I thought, what a great idea because now all I do is pop the entire shell into the ground and I don’t have to chance breaking the tiny roots of my beautiful little pea plants!
And how beautiful are these??? I also have zucchini started and after this coming Sunday’s scrambled eggs so who knows!
I found a new space on the property and created a vegetable planting bed using a railroad tie that I found and some leftover bricks in the garage. The soil is being supplemented by what I have dug out from under the orange tree. It is dark and rich – probably from years of natural composting!
Pictures and updates on this new bed. I’m sorry all you Snowbirds but it is Spring in Los Angeles! More gardening in unusual containers to come….
