BCC - time to get those seeds started.

With the last frost in the BCC area being between the middle and end of April, depending on how you ask, we are in the red zone for seed starting. I have alreay started 3 types of tomatoes, 1 pepper, several flowers, fennel, basil and parsley indoors under grow lights. I will be planting carrots, lettuce and sugar snap peas this weekend.

My indoor planting set-up is rather simple. I purchased a shop light from Strosniders, hung the light from beams in my basement near my furnace and water heater (seed like it warm) and put "grow lights" bulbs in the lamp. The most expensive thing were the light blubs at $25 a piece. The lamp itself only cost about $20.

I plan on transporting most of the inside plants to the garden in early May. With the tomatoes and peppers hitting the soil in mid-May.
