Planning a Garden

It’s January. That means it’s time to start planning the vegetable gardens. And the flower gardens. Ok, you may think I’m jumping the gun since we’ve had snow, and have another snow storm coming tomorrow. Now is the time to start the planning, though.

Storing Seeds

For years now, I’ve been storing my seeds in a big bin. It was messy. Hard to find what I was looking for. And often resulted in spilled seeds in the bottom of the bin. I’ve been thinking for awhile about a way I could store my seeds better.

I saw a few people storing their seed packages in photo albums. The album in the picture below is for 4×6 photos. It is nice to be able to see your seeds at a glance. And they are safely tucked away on a shelf where they can’t be spilled. If you don’t have a lot of seed packets, this could work very well for you. Much better than my old system of throwing everything into a bin.

My problem with that system is I have too many seeds and not enough shelf space. Once day I was sitting here and it dawned on me. Why not use these drawers that I organize other stuff in?

Storing Seeds

I thought I was brilliant. lol  I have this old library card file cabinet in my schoolroom that I store school supplies and other stuff in. I had a few empty drawers. So I decided to store my seeds there!

I now have three drawers labeled flowers, herbs, and vegetables.

The smaller packs lay on their sides and fit perfectly. Larger packs, envelopes, and bags of seeds can lay down in the back of the drawers. Yes, that is a lot of seeds. Maybe I have a seed problem…….nah!

Now I realize that not everyone will have a cabinet like this to store their seeds in.  I used to have a under the cabinet recipe file that attaches to the bottom of the kitchen cabinet and the drawer pulls out. Looking on Amazon, I can’t find it, but there are many, many options for recipe card files that would be able to hold seed packets. I really like this seed storage box. There are even two drawer card file units that could sit on a cabinet, or shelf.

More Ideas

Did you see the two drawer cd cabinet on the big cabinet in the picture above? That would be perfect for storing seeds, as well. I also have some of those same drawers that held vhs tapes. Those would hold all sizes of seed packages if you have any still hanging around, like I do.

You could also use a shoe box. Either a cardboard box that your shoes came in, or a plastic one from the store. This could be a convenient way to store seed packages. Even the larger packages would fit in the shoe box.

Here’s another neat way to store seeds, the Seed Keeper.

I am now happy with my seed storage. And it is so much easier to find what I’m looking for!

How do you store your seeds?

Veterinary Manual

May 13, 2010 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy Leave a Comment

I was clicking around today, and came across this Merck Veterinary Manual site.

I remember visiting this site before and finding it helpful. It covers all animals and also has poultry included.

You’ll want to save this link. When you have animals, you always need to look something up.

The Free Range Chicken Song

I saw this on another blog this morning, Homestead Momma. I love this song. Now I have some answers when kids ask me “Why did the chicken cross the road?” lol

Another Goat Update

January 16, 2010 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy Leave a Comment

Yes, I know, goat updates three days in a row. What can I say? It’s what’s going on, and taking up most of our time.

We had to move Emily’s little girl into the house to join the little boy. She was shivering, and Emily wouldn’t let her nurse.

Hopefully it will just be for one night. It’s much better to leave the babies with their Mama’s.

The little boy is doing well. We tried to get one of the mama’s to nurse him today, but they wouldn’t. We’ll try again tomorrow, but it looks like he is going to stay a bottle baby.

He has a cute Winne the Pooh bottle. He, obiviously,doesn’t care what’s on the bottle, but the children like it.
