Veggie Basket

Here's a clever device: Potmaker from Lee Valley. If you'd rather save the $17 for something else, there's always this device free method of making pots from newspaper. After skimming through the comments, it appears that the water evaporates quickly and the pots get wet (but not wet enough to break it down completely before planting in the soil), so I'm not entirely sure if it's a great idea. We will see : ) I'll give it a try when Spring arrives.

Yes, this means pretty much everything in the field is under a blanket of snow. Goodbye, lovely carrots and peas! The only plants I could rescue were two containers of bok choy, a baby strawberry plant and a small pot of rosemary. Unfortunately, a handful of salt got on to one of the two bok choy containers, so now there are only two small suviving bok choys. Aww, how sad.
