March 11thLet it snow; these seeds don't care!
My hubby Bob built a warmer box so the mini greenhouse tray fits on top. The box has 4 sides, no top or bottom- all made from scrap lumber.There's a 25 watt bulb inserted through a hole made in one of the sides (plugged in 24 hrs). Then, a hanging 48 inch double fluorescent light fixture was installed. There-an instant heated greenhouse!
March 14thLook at these babies; some have grown 1mm in less than 72 hrs! These are basil. I also planted Roma & cherry tomatoes, beets, Lavender, zinnias and coleus but they're camera shy right now. More veggies and perennials to plant later. It's easy to get carried away but the availability of light sources really limits the numbers!
P.S. After I had originally posted this , I realized that I failed to mention where I got this idea of building a warmer box.
At the March meeting of the Brantford Master Gardeners, one of the members, Kay Suzuki, talked about starting seeds indoors with this technique which she has successfully used for years. I was inspired immediately! Thanks, Kay.

Hi mum!
The blog looks great. You've already got more going on in the sidebar than I have!
Could you have picked an older picture of me? I don't think I've had those glasses in 2 years. Though I kinda miss the hair.
Anyways, this looks great! Don't forget to invite the other people you want to look at this.
