These are the first wave of seeds I'm starting indoors on a heating pad. I use an old dark room thermometer stuck in the same seed starting mix as the seeds to monitor soil temperature. Once they germinate and show indications of the first set of true leaves, they are weaned off the heat, transplanted into individual pots and placed in the greenhouse.
Here's the first batch:
Abutilon - Tennent's White - Abutilon vitifolium
Balloon Pea - Lessertia frutescens
Bell Flower - Canarina canariensis
Desert Bird of Paradise - Caesalpinia gilliesii
Brazilian Coral Tree - Erythrina crista-galli
Caterpillar Bean - Scorpirius muricatus
Cigar Flower - Cuphea lanceolata
Giant Honey Bush - Melianthus major
