Once the seeds have grown big enough for transplanting, some will be in the beds in the polytunnel and the rest will move either to the net tunnel or the outside raised beds. But I am hoping to keep us fed from the tunnel all year round.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-75925087146105419712015-04-12T07:36:05.732+01:002015-04-12T07:36:05.732+01:00Haha ... well spotted!!

Either they are medicinal or edible or attract the right insects etc. I have used the TP paper rolls in my garden as guards to keep the rolly pollys and cut worms from cutting down my seedlings but I am going to give a go at using them as my seed starters this next year after reading your post about using them.
