Spring Updates: Planting Season is Soon! 🌱

Out here in Massachusetts, crocuses and daffodils are starting to peek through last year's leaves. Soon we'll have our last hard frost of the year, which means ... it's almost planting season. That means it's a great time to send spring greetings that really grow.✨

When can you plant seeded paper?

Anytime after your last frost, our seed paper cards and gift tags can be planted directly in the soil. Each of our seed cards has simple instructions right on the back, and we also have a step-by-step-guide and planting tips online. Just cover the paper with ⅛ inches of soil and keep it moist and in sunshine. Look for sprouts in 4-6 days.

It's a super easy DIY garden project that will bring wildflowers, herbs, or even catnip later in the year, depending on which card you plant.

Our cards are densely speckled with seeds embedded directly in the paper. This is what it looks like if you sprout your paper without any soil! 

When can you move sprouts outdoors?

If you started your seed paper inside, you can move your pots outside anytime after your last frost. Bringing the plants outdoors for a few hours a day at first is a good way to help them adjust to the cooler outdoor air. ☀️

Is it too late to plant seed paper?

It's true that the earlier you plant your seed paper, the more time it will have to grow. But planting in late spring or summer is also good. Try planting herb paper every few weeks for an extra long harvest of parsley, basil, and chives.

How long do you have to plant seeded paper?

Our cards have a shelf life of two years after purchase for best germination. If it's not a good time for you to get planting, just keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight until you're ready.

If you like him a lot he may become our new logo. What do you think?
