“The marigolds haven’t done anything yet...”

My Zinnias were the last seeds to sprout - maybe all flowers under the grow lamp will be like that?

That grow lamp on a stand was the best purchase I made. After squirrels/birds ate the seed I planted outside, I saw no reason to do the same thing again and expect a different outcome - the seeds or tiny plants from the seed were going to be eaten so a solution had to be found.

It was a triumph over the critters when the seeds were growing beautifully inside the house under the grow lamp - take that, critters!

I saved the boxes the parts of the grow lamp came in. After I was through with the lamp, I put the lamp that is now inside the part that holds it, in the box that held the part the bulb fits in. Tossed the rest of the boxes. Put the box with the holder and lamp in the laundry room.

I’m thinking where to put the green metal stand in the house. I don’t want it outside so spiders, etc., can build spider webs on it and mess up the cord that comes out of it, because this stand will be back in the house when it’s time for early spring seeds to sprout.

Acorns are ripening up and some squirrels have moved in to take advantage of the bounty. I forsee squirrel stew in the near future.

I'm so glad you bought yours, or else I wouldn't have heard about the great results, and price..So, thanks for your reviews, and growing info.

Many is the time I started seeds inside in a summy window, but they never made it, so...woot, woot, January, I will be using it a lot. Just today, the toy choi, and pak choy are growing by the hour..

This morning I saw that something dug up some of my 10-15 onions. I replanted them, but am going to have to trap and shoot..ugh, I'm not always in a killing mood, but it needs to be done.
