Peat pots are the best thing in the world for getting an early start on plants. Put them in plastic trays and put them outside with your heritage tomato seeds or delicate little herbs. Bring them in when it's cold or too hot or just looks bad. Best thing you can plant the whole thing no struggling to take them out of the pot! These little pots dry out easy so keep their feet in a plastic tray with plenty of water. I have purple basil in mine and a recipe for purple basil lemonade thats sooo delish!This was given to me by my mother-in-law.
2 quarts water in a large glass pitcher, a cup of slenda ( or a cup of sugar) and two large lemons juiced about a 1/2 cup of lemon juice, a half cup of purple basil leaves lightly crushed. Combine all the elements and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours...pour this little perfect sippy into tall glass with crushed ice and a sprig of purple basil. Sit out in the sun in one of those long low chaises, in your sundress with your wide brimmed hat and think moody deep hot sultry southern thoughts.
