Since my seed sprouting chamber went down to 51 last night, I added a second 100w light to bring the temps up a bit.

I am not using my normal seed sprouting incubator that I have on my homepage. I is in need of a serious overhaul or building a 2.0 version with better fasteners. We had some chrome wire shelves that we use for container plants on the back porch in the warm weather. I snagged one set that was long enough, hung a pair of lights on it, put the seed cups one shelf down, and one shelf down from there I put a surface mount light fixture with a 100w bulb, then covered it all with plastic sheeting. 51 is too low for seed starting, they like warm soil, so I added a second 100w light, and will track the temps now. I expect it to get pretty cold tonight because we have a clear blue sky and forecast of 25. If it went to high teens, I would not be surprised.

I had never looked on your FR homepage. Nifty seed stearter, aka, mater bator, and those tomato plants looked fantastic. Mine are never that bushy.

Enjoyed the story of your rodeo adventure with Mr. Tiller.
