Elda Haring's old book "Plants from Seeds" was my Bible for years along with Park Seed's center page of germination times and temps, etc. I have always had shop lights somewhere in the house. Right now, I use
an area in the laundry room which is very convenient for checking moisture and such.
I have started my second batch of seedlings; I think I could even do a third before the first frost. But, my heavens, what would I do with all of them? I am a flower grower; however, the economy may soon turn me into a vegetable grower.
I just love to start seeds. It is such fun seeing them come to life and grow. I really don't use anything special like heat mats. I do love winter sowing because there is almost no work involved once the cartons are prepped and filled with soil and then seeds.
