My seed starting set-up/light stand
Hi all,
Since several of you are clamoring to see my seed starting set-up, I thought I’d take a quick photo this morning. It’s not a great photo, but you get the idea. It’s sitting on top of a custom cabinet my husband built for me in my office/studio. It’s great because it has a lot of drawer space underneath, and a little bar sink at the right end, so I have storage and access to water. The wall is painted a deep adobe behind it, so that’s why it’s so colorful!
I ordered my light stand from the National Gardening Association, but they were originally made by Hydrofarm.
As you can see, I used a hodge-podge of containers, but will replace them with uniform sizes…it makes it easier that way when the seedlings get taller.
I saw a little grape hyacinth blooming in the garden this morning….spring can’t be far away, now, can it???)
dig it!

Ohmygosh! We’re still under snow and the frost is at least 2 feet deep. And you’ve got bulbs coming up already? I’m so jealous!

Hey Cyndi,
Yep. The grape hyacinths are always the first to come up, then the daffodils, then the iris, etc. We’ve had a few harder freezes this year, so I’m anxiously watching to see if any of my bulbs died back or not.
Sometimes I wish we’d get a few feet of snow…it would help to kill off the year-round insects we have down here!
