Hello all- I can't help but think that my babies would like it much more if they were under lights - and it would be nice to start out more things- but I just can't justify it with the power problems we are having out here right now.   I am the green monster!Next year will try out building some sort of  small lean to greenhouse proposotions that just uses shelves and poly to capture sunlight and protect from wind-(ideas welcome) In the mean time here a a couple of tips I came across. One is from another forum- A someone recycled an old waterbed heater into a neat progation bed.The heater has a rheostat so temp is easy to control. The heater is in a removeable "drawer" and the bed is constructed from leftover exterior  plywood well caulked to keep water from reaching the heater.
Maybe someone could use that. 
The other tip is a simple one but one but I thought- BRILLIANT! You know how hard it is to get the labels off of the jugs and containers you use for planting( like the recycled  domes roast chicken containers from the store etc)/ Try the hair dryer! It works! Just turn it on the the labels just peel right off  of  jars jugs plastic containes etc and any bit of residue washes off easily with a scrub pad and soap -I rited everything from oil to peanit butter to goo gone and still couldn't get the stuff off. It is stormin Norman- and it is cold. Just treated myself to a good pair of muck boots from the feed store and considered it a Valentine gift  to myself. The clogs just aren't cutting it in this mud!-For the record- I have been trying to grow babies in my Southern Exposure window and the darn cats mucked up the works- they just refused to give up their sitting space- I find the pots turned upside down on the floor.Man- November felt like April. February feels like North Dakota in Sunny California. I remain- confused  in zone 9-Teri
