Signing UpStep 1Mini Greenhouses
Want to become a little more "Green". Then what's better to do that than making recycled green houses. These are made from old containers for rotisserie chicken, cake containers, and other miscellaneous clear plastic containers.
All you have to do is fill up your containers you choose to use. Add your seeds and put the plants into the container. This works by keeping the water inside of the container making a humid environment for the plants. I use this mostly for starting the seeds, it has worked great for me.

Do you mind if add it to my "Plants" Group?
The link above from North Carolina University tells you about that plant you found in the woods. They are lovely, aren't they? I have them across the street from me along the Hudson River and I love them every spring. You can transplant a little bit if you can properly provide a nice little home for it where you are. You need a moist semi-shady spot with lots of humusy compost and peat moss added, with some pine needles to cover the soil (for mulch) around the plant's rhizome. They like semi-shade with rich and alive soil that is somewhat acidic and moist. They are called bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) and are a native wildflower known as a member of the papaver family, or "poppy". They were well known to the native peoples of the Americas, known to us as "Indians" (vs the "cowboys"), who used them for medicinal purposes.
