I finally got my vegetable garden in this week. I know. It seems ridiculously late. I could've probably planted it a couple weeks ago. But let's face it, I don't live in a banana belt, so I can't plant my garden as early as some!
I have always hated trying to plant carrots and then thin them later. It goes against everything good and right to watch a seed grow and then rip it out of the ground before it has produced anything! Not to mention I never seem to get around to actually doing the thinning.
I remembered seeing the idea on Pinterest to make my own seed tapes, so I gave it a try. I cut strips of newspaper and used a flour/water mixture as the "glue." I wasn't sure how I was going to put one of those teeny-tiny seeds on each glue spot, but a toothpick with a tiny bit of the glue on it worked wonderfully.
Fingers crossed that I have carrots in 50 days! I'll keep you posted.

I can't wait to see if that works, because I don't like planting carrots for that reason.
Keep us informed.
