And they're off!

2seedlings

Here are the first 2 tomato seedlings up this year! Looks like so far, the yellows are winning even though they are older seeds. Note the cute little identification signs I made, which can double as picket signs if they feel mistreated. ;) Just a toothpick and a piece of cardboard. I had that little revelation the other day at work. You see, I've always gotten my seedlings mixed up and seperated from their labels every year, I just couldn't figure out a good way to keep them labeled. But I think this will work just great. Anyone else have any ideas?

Here's a pic of the crappy basement growlight set up. I hope it's just temporary, I intend to hang the light from the ceiling instead. It seems like that would work better, but we'll see if it happens. I may also need another light, we'll see how many seeds I start. Then again there's always the growing and repotting....I guess I will need another light. Anyone know a good place to get 'em where they don't cost an arm and a leg?

I recommend Home Depot. I picked up some regular white fluorescents (18" plug-in lights) there for a little under $9 each. They need to go a little closer to the plants than a grow light (probably less than a foot above), but they're a lot cheaper and your plants will grow.
