Now, I love Tricuits but I LOVE even more that they are promoting home farming through including plantable herb seed cards in over 4 million boxes! How fun and what a great activity to do with the kids.
Tricuits has also joined with Urban Gardening, a non-profit, to create a website HERE to provide information to beginning and seasoned gardeners through forums, crop guides, expert advice and more!
Joining the fun, we received one box of original Triscuits and one box of reduced-fat Triscuits. (One had dill seeds and one basil and we did receive a $20 Visa card as a part of the blogging promotion to cover our planting expenses.)
I carried the whole project on vacation to my parents’ farm in N.C. where my dad has always enjoyed growing produce. This year, he grew beans, tomatoes, corn, cantaloupes, watermelon, squash and ocra. And now, we have herbs!
Below are pictures of our progress. First step was to soak the seed cards so that they could peel open and reveal the seeds. I had to plant the seeds in a to-go food box so I can close it and carry it with us as we head back home to PA next week. There I will put the dirt in a deeper box and watch as pretty green shoots grow.
Can’t wait!!

This is a nice blog message, I will keep this idea in my mind. If you add more video and pictures because it helps understanding
We live in FL.You’d think we could home farm all year. We tried but what the torrential rains,heat, & occasional hurricane didn’t destroy, bugs, squirrels, birds,&plant illnesses DID and we’re not willing to use chemicals so we gave up. Never had trouble growing produce in New England when we lived there despite the short growing season.
Interesting! I’ve had trouble with everything wanting my strawberries before I can get to them.
