Seed Box

I saw this great idea on another blog My Tiny Plot.

She organized her seed box by month, but because my growing season is so short here, I didn't think that would work for me, so I used plant names.

I also used a bright neon orange box, so I can't lose it in my garden.

Before.

My "seed box".

Very unorganized! I just put all my seed packets in this cardboard box and when I wanted to plant something I would dig through all of them.

Not the best system.

In fact, last year I forgot to plant shell beans, because I didn't see the 2 packets until August.

Whoops! Too late!

Now.

Nice and organized.

Now, I can see what seeds I need to order for this year - mostly peppers, flowers and one or two new tomatoes, but I have lots of seeds to use from last year.

I also like this box, because it has a cover.

(It's a shoe box.)
