    Burpee has a self watering tray also that works pretty well. Laura, you need to design some of your own products because it would be great if all seed trays had taller domes and are made of more lasting materials. 😊

    You should keep a thermometer also at the level where you have your lowest plants, too. It’s always colder at the floor unless you have heat that blows directly down in certain areas.

    Indoor winter growing is always a fun challenge. I'm curious if you have ever tried hydroponic growing? After watching a few RUclips videos on the topic, we decided to give it a shot this year. We started with a really small setup in our basement and were surprised by how well all the plants did- we have lettuce, kale, and even a jalapeño plant which is producing peppers! While I do prefer outdoor growing during the warm months this will definitely become an easy way to extend the growing season.

    Hi Laura my area that is between 60-70 degrees in winter, is my dining room! After the Holidays when the decorations and major socializing are over, it will be my seed starting room! I use a seed mat for the plants that like it warmer and higher Kelvin shop lights on an antique wash stand! I do a lot of my computer work in there as well so I do enjoy watching the the seedlings poke through the soil and the extra light keeps any seasonal affective disorder at bay! I have to say it also helps with the after Christmas lull! So my New Year’s resolution is grow more plants! 💚💚💚💚💚😉😁

Im usually researching new plants - planning how I want to approach my planting - filling myself up with ideas and sometimes not totally following through on all of them - deciding how and where I can branch out ( no pun intended) I do have indoor plants which I am adding more and more - it must be great to be outside, even though it's an inside/outside area 👍👏🎉so fun 😊

    Hey Laura, The heater is satisfying the thermostat I moved mine to the other side near the water source and turned up temp. It stays consistent throughout greenhouse however, the heater does run longer maintaining an even heat and making up for heat loss between the two. I also installed a larger capacity heater this might be overkill but it helps.

    One question...I keep thinking about the snail Vine seeds from Baker Creek you planted last year. Did they ever come up? I bought the same packet (of 7 seeds 🤷🏻‍♀️) and planted them in a berry tray. Slow grower! It took a couple months for the seedlings to appear and I transplanted them in a whiskey barrel with a tall trellis and boy do they love to climb. Haven't seen flowers yet but the vines are still holding on. They should be perennial here. Looking forward to a pretty show next spring.

    Do you think the self watering seedling trays from Gardener's Supply is a better functioning system than what you buy from Burpee at Walmart? I am wondering if the shorter tray made it work better. I didn't have great success with the cheaper one, but maybe the tray system was too long for the wicking mat to work. Just curious if you have an opinion. Obviously the Gardener Supply tray is more expensive (especially considering shipping cost), but the older I get, the more I realize you get what you pay for. Thanks so much!❤️
