Starting Seedlings

Here we have our fall seedlings germinating in the starting trays under the grow lights. We're going to grow all of these little guys into 4" pot size before being slowly introduced to the sun in a few weeks and brought out to the garden. The lights are on a timer giving the little babies 17 hours of light a day.



































What we have here are:
Mesclun (lettuce mix), butter crunch lettuce mix, creole collard greens, tatsoi bok choy, swiss chard, bright lights swiss chard, nero toscana kale, chinese cabbage, endive (lettuce), bordeaux spinach, long island improved brussels sprout, broccoli, radish, sugar pod snow pea, sugar snap pea, red cored short carrot, cilantro, thai basil, mint.

The seeds ($1.59 - $2.29) and the seed starting soil ($3.89) were purchased at Plant World , the starting trays ($3.89) came from Star. The 48" 2 bulb light fixtures ($12.50) and the bulbs ($6.00 for two) are from Lowes.
