Nice visit to the Dollar Tree! I was there yesterday (Virginia) and they still did not have the seeds. But I did get some other things that are garden related the other times when I was checking for seeds. I was wondering about that Thermometer. I need at least one, looked at Amazon, but even there the reviews are not that good, and they are much more expensive! But if you say that this one does work, I will get one or two for that price. I also got some pots, watering can, 3 of those stackable pots for the first time. I don't know yet what I will put into them. Also a few of those pots to hang onto a railing. I can't wait to start gardening in totes on my patio (inspired by Robbie). :)

The little domes you got. I gave up on them. I posted on my buy nothing facebook page and asked if anyone had any of those five gallon water jugs. They did. I got twenty. Ten of them I cut the bottoms off. They work great in the garden. I planted a lot of thing in April with the domes it it worked great. The other 10 I filled with water out by my shed last fall. I grow comfrey I use for fertilizer. I blend the leave with water and poor around my plants once a month. But in the fall. I picked the last of the leave tore them and put the them in the water. Where they still are. 10-5 gallons of comfrey tea will probably feed my plants all summer. I will dry my comfrey leaves this year and grind to a powder and mix with my soil next year to amend my soil from this year. Just a tip if you don’t have at comfrey I just suggest you plant some. They get pretty blue flowers that the bees love.

I grew about 10 varieties last year, and I cooked with all if them, except the blue spice basil, because I didn't care for the smell. But the bees adored the flowers, so it was still a win. I dry a lot of basils and store them individually (and sometimes mixed up) to add to stews, soups, pasta and rice dishes. Raw eggplant is crunchy and has a bitter aftertaste.
