Here is the indoorseedstarting forum.

Hi Joanne. I have been seed starting in my basement for over 10 years. It is not complete yet but here is my new seedstarting room in the unused coal bin area. I'll have a sink, work bench, storage and will move my PVC seedstarting shelves in there. Until then I'll be starting seeds on the PVC shelves under the stairs.

hahahaha, nice chris and it must be nice to have a basement or some have greenhouses. Since my kids and wife never use the kichen table for eating on and decide to use it as storage, that area holds all of my starts now. lol good luck with the on-going projects....

I use some lighted shelving in my basement rigged by my DH and any window sill that gets some sun.

A nice window setup for sure. Are those Starbucks mugs? If so, you drink alot of coffee. lol

No, they're paper cups purchased from BJ's.

I have these in my basement.

This is what it looks like in another month every year.

So many nice big windows.

RRR house is beautiful!!!

Thanks Onewish.

Took a long time to get it right. Lot's of years working, saving and paying mortgages until they were all done. Something for everyone to look forward to in their VERY SENIOR years. We just weren't ready to downsize and go south after retirement. No room to garden and no young people and children in those southern adult communities.

you need all that space for your family & flowers!!!

Hi All...I am LaVonne and was led here to Q by my sister Marti. Now that the weather has began to turn to Spring and she has been using sunny, dryer days planter beds are being prepared. We have begun indor potting of or tomaoes, some japanese mustard, herbs and not to be left out my gourds.

This planting season I will start with bird house and bottle gourds, along mini jewelry gourds.

WOOHOO

hello LaVonne... nice to meet you

Hi LaVonne, welcome to cubits and the seed cubit. We discuss seed starting by many different methods, and branch out to other aspects of gardening as well. Make yourself at home.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Once my seeds sprout I am going to plant them in two tier tire "pots". This type of planting will be my frst for my gourds.

We'll see how it goes.

Good luck with them.

Hi Lavonne (Dorothy)

Welcome!!

Show us some pictures of your "tire pots" when you get a chance.

Thanks

Teri

Hi, LaVonne
Welcome! Your gourd growing sounds interesting--the tire pots are especially intriguing. I hope you will be able to keep us posted of your progress.

Hello all!

I've been seed starting for 6-7 years, first with just annual flowers and tomatoes but for the past 3 years, I've been branching out to include more and more vegies.

Three years ago, I(we: my 101 yr old grandmother and I) bought a 2 bedroom mobile home and moved into the county from apartments in the city; my gro table set-up is a DIY PVC + shoplight on-a-living room shelf as I had to dismantle it and store it under my bed every year. . . My beloved grandmother died a few months after moving, so now her bedroom has become my plant room: my gro station stays up year-round and the furniture now holds my seeds etc instead of clothes. My gardening area is still very small but expanded (yearly it seems) by a growing container ghetto (Earthboxes, patio containers) in my driveway! My garden helper/landscaper is building high "shelves" along one side of an unused deck, for hardening off seedlings and begin constructing a pot ghetto

This year, I will start (indoors, from seed): tomatos, jalapeno peppers, watermelon, broccoli, brussels sprouts, yellow crookneck squash, borage, marigolds. . . and direct sow green beans, cucumbers, cilantro, beets and carrots. (I think I remembered all of them!)

Here's some pics:
the basic DIY gro set-up (for mine, I added longer/higher legs/supports and used a 4-LED shoplight. . . and put the whole thing on top of a waist plastic high shelving unit! The other shelves hold my seed-starting stuff.)

My first garden (july 2018)

The short deck/stairs on the left is where my new "shelf" will be. It overlooks my 3'W x 47'L raised bed, seen in this 2019 photo:

Also, for 2019: my avatar of half-grown very productive tomato plant and a pot of shistito peppers!
I have no photos for 2020.

I still have scattered mounds of snow on the ground, but yesterday heard a mourning dove: spring IS coming!

I've got tomatoes going inside under lights, and I'll be starting lettuce, some herbs & flowers and peppers in the next couple of weeks. I'm lucky to have an understanding family that doesn't mind that I set up 6 ft folding tables down both sides of my living room and hang lights from the ceiling.

Space is tight this year due to a kitchen and livingroom remodel, so I decided to give winter sowing a go this year. I'm winter sowing several herbs, flowers and all of my early brassicas. I'm super nervous about winter sowing, but I always get nervous about something new that sounds so simple! However, I really don't have a lot of choice with my space issues this year, so if something goes wrong, at least I can say I tried!
