. Well it has been a week-and-a-half and most of the seedlings are up. I got some heating pads under the trays and it really seems to help. But my lighting is insufficient, so I moved everything the the living-room plant table, the light it better ans although some of the seedlings a little bit leggy, and they are thickening up.
I planted two of every heirloom tomato collected last year. And a bunch of spring veggies, and some summer veggies. I figure I will plant some summer squash and okra early, and if it makes it I will have an early crop. But anyway I will have Swiss chard, chervil (herb), and early tomatoes.
I have the lights on a timer and it comes up 2 hours before the sun hits the window and 2 hours after dark. Just want to give some extra light.
Have a 96watt compact fluorescent lighting system but the bulb is bad and is on order. Got to work with what you have on hand.

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
