Seedling starts - some progress

 Even in the desert of NM, I can start plants lol. Folks the excitement is building and building to head to our new homestead in MO. We will finally have peace and serenity for our future.

The best advice I can give you about starting seeds is trial and error, but also getting involved in a seed exchange / homesteading group  I use facebook but there are all sorts of them around. 

Here is my most recent seedling: I started these on January 28th, 

Updated photo is from February 4th, so about a week later and its is beautiful. Oncourse it is very cold in the camper and I use the oven light or microwave to put them at night when it freezes lol (just hints)

To start them I used my coffee grounds from the morning I made coffee (straight out of the coffee pot) 

I then just went out side Cedar Cove Campsite and dug some sanding soil and finished filling my pint jar. Now you can do the same I actually just started some tomato seeds straight in coffee grounds. I will have more to post on them in a week or so. 

Now if you want you can go buy a potting soil or seed starter mix but I want to test my skills and to some experimental planting. If that is the round you want to take here are my recommendations: 

Seed Pellet/Disc to start 

Jiffy Natural seed starter

Also for seeds Etsy is a great source and DollarSeed . Also you can just use Amazon and the local store. 

Also here is a place to donate or request seeds, but they send what they got I think.
