I have 25 tomato and 6 pepper varieties sprouting in flats now. Will transplanting to newspaper pots this week then in mid may harden off and into the ground. Like the professor, I use flourenscent lamps (one regular and one grow lamp) and heat mats. The flo lamps are just shop lights ($10 plus the bulbs). Peas are in the ground now and sprouting, lettuce and spinach too. Will be planting cucumbers, cantalopes, and probably something else come May.
H depot had veggie and herb seedlings BOGO yesterday (4" peat pots) so I picked up some sage, basil, mint, stevia, parsley and cilantro. They will go into containers.
I use soakers hoses and a drip system on a timer once everything is moved outside so I don't have to worry about the watering.
