Thinking Spring (no, really)

I started some onion and parsley seeds in my basement today! My seed starting set up this year is hopefully going to work much better than last years. I bought two 4 foot long shop lights and bulbs at Home Depot and hung them from the ceiling with some twine. I already had a large wood table down there, I just had to clear all the boxes of stuff off it. I've placed the newly seeded trays on top of the freezer for extra warmth since I don't want to spend money on a heat mat. Photos to come.

Learning experience so far this year: don't ever order from Burpee again. Park Seed has all the same products and then some, for less money and cheaper shipping.
