Hi there PattyM, now that I'm finally back in circulation again on the forum I saw this post. I'd like to answer some of your questions.
I do run a
greenhouse, but I still start my
seedlings here in the house. I don't quite trust the cold weather of Feb. and March when I start the
seedlings to a
greenhouse overnight. I'm not sure if my heater would keep the even temperature that it needs for
seedlings.
My husband built me a cart to start my
seedlings on with
growing lights and it's working out just fine for me. Around April 15 I usually start my transplanting in the
greenhouse. By then we have more sunshine and it's definitely warmer inside the
greenhouse. I have not used
growing lights in the
greenhouse so far. But I do make sure that the
seedlings once transplanted stay in the area where the sun hits the longest during the day.
Hope this helps you a bit even if its late.
