Seedling 2 :

Second discovery  from the first one - was the cling film, terrarium: using the idea of creating a nice cosy moist environment for the seeds to grow in , I used two clean cat little boxes and some cling film.

This one is great for getting seedling ready to plant in your garden. I do recommend you use a growing guide to see when the optimum time to do this is. this this website has a great garden planner which will tell you when to plan what plants.

You will need :

1 x cat litter box.
cling wrap.
4 seed trays.
seeds of your choice.
light windowsill or sun-room.
pegs

1. Pre-per seeds as describe previously.
2. place seed trays in cat litter box.
3. Water well.
4. use 3 pegs to secure cling wrap to one side.
5. Slowly roll film over pegging to side as needed.
6. peg to opposite end and cut.
7. place seeds in light window or sun room
8. Allow seeds 7 days to sprout.
9. once seed have sprouted - watch closely for mould, as soon as seed have first 2 leaves. Remove cling film and allow to grown until at least 4 leaves are visible or seedling look strong. Turning every day to avoid on sided growth, and water regularly.
10. once seed look strong enough take out doors for a day or two and trans plant to prepared beds or
 pots as required.
