I love seeing so much excitement in the garden blog world this week about seed starting! It is making me want it to be spring even more! :)
I am planning on growing most of my plants from seed this year, verses last year when I purchased a lot of seedlings from gardening stores.
Reasons:
*Saving $$
*Unique varieties
*Classic heirlooms
*Avoiding Monsanto
*Gratification! :)
Currently planted are:
*Purple Basil
*Peas
*Calendula
*Orange Pepper
*'Summer Feast' Tomatoes
*'Garden Candy' Tomatoes
*Italian Eggplants
Even though they are sunbathing near bright windows and windowsills, I have a slight uneasy feeling that they really need is some kind of grow light system. There are 2 things holding me back from this:
1. Cost
2. Where to put it?
Discovering that I truly enjoy gardening, I guess I would not mind investing in something that would last me for years. So the biggest barrier is really where I would put it... I am somewhat of a 'neat freak' and don't want to necessarily look at it all the time. I would love to hear your thoughts/ideas on this...
Are you starting seeds indoors? If so, what are you growing? And, do you use any sort of lighting system?
