- Greenhouse: I am using window sill plastic seed starters in the upstairs bedroom, right above the radiators and below large windows for light (northeast facing). This has worked wonderfully for seed starting!
- Labels: I have used a label maker this time to label the seeds on the outside package (sometimes identifying the number of cells..)
- Mats: I bought some capillary mats and placed under the seedlings like this mats dont know if it helps to keep retain moisture
- Soil: I bought seed starter mix this year, rather than trying to use compost.
- Seeds: I separated my seeds for February/March/April and then had a few seed bags of stuff Ive collected with no name!!! So, I planted them too!
