How To Make Your Own Seed Tape

Posted on May 30, 2018September 25, 2019 by Rosevine Cottage Girls
The gardens are growing so quickly, our first batch of lettuce is already ready to harvest! So we’ve been working on getting our second batch in the ground. Lettuce can be a bit of pain to get growing properly so we decided to make seed tape. This method is great for veggies that need to be thinned like carrots and onions or flowers and super easy to make.
