It is always the same problem for me. Where to put all plants when they grow up?🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 ”Learning by doing” doesn’t seem to aplay on grow from seeds😂 But it is nice to have ”some” extra to give as a gift to friends. 😁🌱

Exactly the same thought, I'll donate the surplus to friends as I won't stretch the garden 😂

Last spring I tested to grow in rolled bubble wrap and household paper. It have been very popular here in Sweden for some years and I just had to try it out to see what everybody was talking about. And yes, it was amazing! Everything grew so well. So happy that I could fit over hundred seeds in one small roll. Didn’t take any space at all. Guess whats happend? Well they growed a bit more and when the were big enough for a plant per pot I had a HUGH problem were to put all hundreds and hundreds of plants🙈😂

This is a great idea at my place it worked well with leeks and onions because they have a very long roots and sometimes it is difficult to repot them.

Yes it is a great idea for sure! The only thing that didn’t was sucessful was my Cosmos Bipinnatus. They become very week . I usually grow them outdoor from the start when the soul is heted up so I don’t know if it was the roll growing itself or if it was just beacause I grew them indoor.

I grow Cosmoses using winter sowing, so they are outside now and when they have grown up and have true leaves I will move them to their final location. I don't grow them indoors because it's too warm and they stretch their stems out a lot, besides I pity the windowsill space because that's reserved for vegetables. I don't sow directly into the groundbecause birds and wind effectively reduce the amount.

Aa yes! Maby I will try that. I usually do that with flowers like Zinnia and sunflowers. Otherwise mostley cale, cabbage and broccoli. Will definitely try Cosmoses sometime. But for me it have never been a problem with the wind and birds. I mostley have problem with mice stealing my sweet pea seeds or deer stealing tulip bulbs😆

If not birds then deer, if not wind then mice 😂😂😂 Nature is amazing 🙈
