Ok we have had some crazy cold weather here and spring seems like it's coming very late this year. I have made some serious modifications to my indoor plants and now have them spread out in 3 different rooms to get natural sunlight while staying safe from the freezing temperatures outside. This has also meant transplanting nearly all of my seedlings into bigger containers. My solution for many of them were $2 5 gallon buckets that I got from Rural King.
All of my potatoes and a few others have been moved into these and not instead of digging up two small plots this year for my growing garden I will be container gardening about half of my crops. This is because most of them are already in containers and let's face it I keep things as simple as possible so if they are in a container big enough for them to grow and produce they will be staying there all year!
I have some pictures of the farm I'm growing inside my house that I will post later. It's always a challenge when mother nature surprises you with a delay in the planting season but even if you are completely prepared all it takes is a few hours and some creative thinking to save your seedlings and hold off a few extra weeks until it's safe to plant outside.
