Freebie Download: Fine Gardening: Make Your Own Seed Packets If you wind up with a non-standard size envelope you can buy something like the above seed envelopes or make your own. Most seed companies play nice and make something around that size, so it’s easy to organize them in a simple box or basket. The standard envelope size is 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″.
Any leftovers go in the back of the box to be considered for next year. Then all I have to do is keep an eye on the top sticky note and plant when it’s time, following the planting instructions on the envelope. (The popsicle sticks on the left are for labeling my pots when I start seeds indoors.) All my ducks seeds are in a row! If there are any special considerations I can write those down too to help jog my memory.Īs I choose seed packages from my box (seeds are usually good for a couple of years) or when they come in the mail, I add a sticky note and put it in order in the box. I grab a sticky note (turn it upsidedown so the sticky is on the bottom, that way the sticky note can stand up above the envelope like a tab) and write “sow inside early May”. Thank you for helping to pay for my seeds (this year I’m trying ground cherries!). If you click and buy, I make a commission. If I want to get a jumpstart on that, I can start them inside in early May. For me, that is May 16th (in a good year). It says to plant in full sun after all danger of frost is past. I just pick up a seed package and look at the planting information. My solution is sticky notes (sticky notes are awesome). Your Planting Schedule A Simple Tool for a Simple Solution Different seeds need different planting times and care and there just seems to be a lot of crazy with small packages of seeds, scribbled notes on scratch paper, or seed planting forms (for some reason they don’t work well for me).
