Here’s a photo of my effort to sprout some seeds for my garden. This year, at Joyce’s suggestion, I bought some Miracle Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix. Using scissors, I poked holes in the bottom of each egg crate cup, then filled with soil and added seeds I had soaked for a few days. Some seeds were saved from food: pasilla peppers and spaghetti squash. Some were purchased last year: leeks and kale.

Seed Starting Mix in the Egg Crates
Update May 6
The kale seeds have sprouted! I feel like a new mother.
