Response to Starting seeds

All the above posts are wonderful and I have only one or two things to add. I use our heating pads, on low, under the trays that hold the peat pots. I cover the planted peat pots with plastic film until the seeds start germinating. Then, they go directly to the flourescent light. I also start all my plants one week ahead so that they can spend a week "hardening off" outside. To harden off, we use bales of hay to form a rectangle. We put the plants in there and use old storm windows at night and old screens during the day.
