I am longing for spring so that I can start my seeds for the garden and I have been looking around for some kind of mini greenhouse to start them in and I found this nifty idea from Prairie Cottagerose.
I love this idea because when you first sow the seeds you need the lid to keep humidity in to make them sprout but as they grow you can leave it off and allow sunlight to green the sprouts up. Another bonus is as the days warm up I can take the whole bin out in the day and bring them in or lay the lid on at night until its warm enough and they have adjusted to the outdoors.
