Growing Pumpkin seeds using egg shells

An easy way to grow seeds is to use empty egg shells instead of pots. by the time the plant is big enough, its ready to go into the ground. just crack the shell and plant it in the soil. the egg will be great fertilizer for the growing young plant.
Loads of strawberries! this as at the Fairfax farmers market on Tuesdays. fresh strawberries with aged Balsamic vinegar is the way to go.
At the Restons farmers market. Im selling infused Rosemary and Garlic, Gourmet Italian, and Roasted Purple Garlic olive oils

Making Hot and Spicy infused olive oils. These are what the bottles will look like. Inside are dried cayenne peppers. I will also be using Chili Piquin peppers, they are 140,000 heat units.
