Two flourescent bulbs, one of each color, in a 48" pull-chain fixture. Bottom heat provided by cord Christmas lights (go buy some on sale!!).<br />It worked great, and REALLY helped with the eggplant and pepper seeds. <br /><br />Good luck with your seedstarting! <br />Come enter the contest at my blog!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904073032627748614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145522887740611698.post-53981948982049018972010-01-11T14:40:43.137-06:002010-01-11T14:40:43.137-06:00@Meredith: THanks for visiting!

I have traded for some great houseplants in the past on craigslist, but sadly can't seem to find any nearby vege gardeners in my neck of woods who want to trade :(<br />The "edible" mags are city specific too as you probably have noticed, so if anything, I am sure that you might find one near you that would be more your area.<br /><br />About the squash...

That's me, too. This year, though, I was able to ask a friend who has grow lights if I could borrow a corner of her spring prep space in exchange for her picking some of what she likes out of my cool seed collection. :) It's all about the barter sometimes.<br /><br />By the way, thanks for introducing me to that magazine, Edible Memphis. I wish we had something like that around here. Perusing back issues now...Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.com
