Mostly annuals, petunias (LOTS of petunias), alyssum, and other misc bedding plants like lobelia and blue pimpernels. Along with starting tomatoes, lettuce, spinach and onions. Sometimes corn and squash. Our growing season here is so short that pretty much anything I want to grow needs a jump start. I like Lisianthus and Lavatera trimestris, too. My main problem with regulating the heat mats is with things getting too hot.
