Today, I came back from shopping, and found a piece of mail for me–an envelope, hand addressed. Hello! I wasn’t expecting any letters. . .what’s the return address? Fedco! Oh, no!! I sent my order in when it was only a week till thier deadline, I hope they’re not telling me I’m too late for this year!! We’re not that far from Maine! I ordered as soon as I could, honest. It was my first year odering. I’ll do better next year!

Many people try to start some seeds and grow them on in a window sill. Unless you happen to have a really deep window sill in a south facing window, growing seedlings in this manner rarely proves satisfactory. The seedlings don’t get enough light and grow pale and leggy. You can grow far more seedlings of much better quality if you grow them under lights. And you don’t need one of those fancy get-ups that you see in the seed catalogs. It’s possible to make one yourself with average woodworking skills for quite a bit less money. This seed starting light stand is one of the best designs I’ve seen for making your own stand with ordinary fluorescent shop lights. My brother made it for his wife, modifying it so that it held two fixtures on each level.
