A week and a half after I built my basement greenhouse, things seem to be going well. I do have to remind myself to check for moisture. The grow-light is located in the same room as our heavy duty dehumidifier and those starts need consistent moisture. I admit that it has been easy to check on them. I love watching their progress.
We had take out for dinner last week and my husband caught me in the act of washing the take out containers to use them as mini greenhouses for starting seeds.
“Why are you keeping those?” he asked. “You won’t be planting seeds until next spring.”
Not entirely true. I plan to follow up one of my pea crops with kale and flowers later this season and I’d like to start those plants in the basement.
“What if you die before then?” he protested. “I’ll be stuck with all these leftover carryout containers.”
Like the most shocking thing about my untimely death would be the deluge of repurposed carryout containers and what could be done with all of them. Seriously?
So add to the list of items to scrounge:
- some plastic takeout containers with clear tops
- divided plastic plant containers in a variety of sizes
For the sake of your surviving mate, neatly put them some place logical and label them, “In the event of my untimely demise, TOSS”.
