There really is nothing like growing from seed. <BR/><BR/>Susie - Ooh you have some really neat things growing! I haven't started my cucumbers and squash yet, since they grow SO fast, but will soon. <BR/><BR/>Dirt Princess - I started seeds on the back porch last year, but they were seriously set back by some torrential rains. I pretty much had to start over. So... that was the impetus for the indoor operation. <BR/><BR/>Lisa - Thanks! I knew I would find a use for the zillions of wine corks!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904073032627748614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516629023597886764.post-22208775894778516432009-04-06T11:45:00.000-07:002009-04-06T11:45:00.000-07:00Wow - this. is. awesome.

My first go-around of seed planting didn't go well but now I have sunflowers, perennial hibiscus and zucchini seedlings coming up. I planted some tomato seeds as well but so far none have made an appearance.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270611634380137009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516629023597886764.post-42941087774394525292009-04-05T18:39:00.000-07:002009-04-05T18:39:00.000-07:00Pretty ingenious Ginger.

Looks to me like you have it figured out. I may have to copy your heat pad idea, way cheaper than buying pads made for that purpose. Hope you are having fun with this venture. I plan to plant a lot more from seed under lights next season. This season is full up with the chicken house building project. Yeah:D<BR/>HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737367324901967724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516629023597886764.post-9523103867246625792009-04-05T17:16:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:16:00.000-07:00Bren,Thanks!

The rope lights are $6 at Lowe's and we had the scrap wood and wine corks. A real serious gardener would probably spring for the heat mats you can order, but this seems to work fine. <BR/><BR/>We've been leaving the rope lights on all the time and turning the lamp off at night. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with your seeds and have a great week!<BR/>GingerGingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904073032627748614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516629023597886764.post-16182773633925026632009-04-05T17:11:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:11:00.000-07:00WOW.... now that is the way to do it!

I have a few popping up but I need to focus on the lamp idea you are using. <BR/><BR/>THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING.... I will be back to see how things go through the spring / summer. <BR/>Happy Spring!Bren Haashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373890474848211301noreply@blogger.com
