I stumbled across this gem this morning
What did you do in your garden today?

There is this light I do not use under kitchen cabinet. Can I use this for the seedlings?

What do the gray highlighted numbers mean? Optimal soil temperature?

Get them as close as you can to the light. I adjust my florescent to be about an inch above the seedlings and leave it on 24x7. Some people will say this is wrong and seedlings need a period of no light. But leaving the light on 24x7 works best for me.

Stuck a couple squash seeds in the ground to replace the ones that didn't wake up. Planted a row of okra. One. Row. As opposed to the 4 rows I had last year. I still have plenty of dehydrated okra so this will give me a little to use fresh.

Looking out kitchen window earlier, I noticed growth in the cells from LAST year. I had a small cold frame there for seedlings. Nothing much grew, so I figured seeds were too old & went on with others, in garden mounds. 
.
Curious, I went out in a break in the rain....either the same "weed" has jumped into these cells or I have tomato seeds sprouted!
Plus, from the cells/cups I dumped to re-use then.
Of course, NO idea the various types at this point. Guess another week or two will tell me if I need to repot or not.
Amusing, to say the least.
Any thoughts?

when we have volunteer tomatoes pop up, I plant around them and let them grow. Jesus is Lord and Christ
