On Monday March 23, 2009 we planted the seeds.
One of the resources that we used was this article on GardenWeb. GardenWeb is such an awesome site!
A Very Useful Article on Starting Seeds at GardenWeb
We planted tomatoes (4 kinds), jalapenos, herbs (5 kinds) and cantelope (those were kind of an impulse buy).
I ended up having to run out for more soil mix and clear plastic bags to cover the pots during the germination phase. (Its really not a project unless you forget some stuff right)?
A friend loaned us a space heater to warm up the 'Greenhouse' which is the basement crawlspace and its been about 60 degrees Fahrenheit down there. There are already shop lights overhead which originally we were going to lower to get them close to the plants. We ended up putting the plants on a card table which got them pretty close to the lights and also up where the air was warmer.
Here are some photos of the proceedings:
