Being Green and Receiving Green

Ever wonder how to harness the energy from the sun and put it to good use, but not want to put on those big solar panels? How about growing herbs in your sunny window.

Start with a Jiffy Seed Starting tray, complete with small pots. Add your growing mix, such as Pro-Mix, plant your desired seeds, and water. The sun beaming through the window will give you the heat and light needed to germinate the seeds. A bright, sunny window is best - usually a south or west exposure. The sun not only heats your seeds and plants, it also gives them the light they need for photosynthesis once they are actively growing

As the plants grow, you can transplant them to 4" pots or larger and enjoy homegrown herbs all season.

A simple way to get your spring started early and be beneficial to you and your family.
