Winter 2026
Seed starting
Sundial Lupine- grow 12 for Lisa Reittenger, give up on using them in my wildflower space, the soil really isn't suited for it.
- Good idea to use corrugated plastic signs inside the bins to keep plants from tipping. Don't really need them in every bin because they are pretty tightly packed and don't tip. The only ones you really need are the large bins for the tomatoes.
- Tomatoes- put a plant tag in every tomato, mix up between the cherry and paste last year.
Additional Rack in office
Buy an additional rack and some more lights for seed starting. Even though on paper I have enough space for all the plants I have planned, in reality, the seedlings are not ready to be planted up in time for the new ones to be started. Maybe I should move both racks in there? It would free up space in kitchen. I would have to do something to protect the carpet from the dirt and water that would fall down. And I would also be farther away from the sink and water. Also when bottom watering, there would be a lot of back and forth to the kitchen anyway.
Searching around on Greenhouse Megastore and found that the plastic tray that professionals use are not that expensive. It is very frustrating to keep tipping those cups when moving the plants. The downside is that the tray have holes int he bottom. I would have to find watering trays to go underneath.
