I have pictures of the light stand I made and use for seedling starting on
my web page at http://www.teleport.com/~scut/stand.htm. It's not pretty but
it works for me. I don't think it cost more $100 including the lights. I got
the directions from a book called _The Big Book of Gardening Skills_ (Garden
Way Publishing).

    Hello All!

    This every-other-day sunshine we're getting here in Maryland has me
thinking SPRING and GARDEN!  My compost is doing fairly good and the raised
beds are begging for seeds and plants...but I gotta wait a li'l bit longer.

    In the meantime, I'm getting ready to start my veggie seeds and am
looking for some information.  Last year I started 90% of my veggies indoors
in February.  I used some shelves in the basement (not too cold down there)
with a makeshift arrangement of growlights and such.  This year I've become
very tempted to buy a contraption made specifically for that
purpose...something along the lines of what is pictured here --->
http://www.gardeners.com/floralights.html.  I just can't stand the thought
of paying $300-400 for this, especially when I look back at the success I
had last year with my pieced-together shelves!  But I do want something
better than last year because I want to move my operation into a warmer part
of the house and it has to look good.

    My question - has anybody run across a web site or other reference that
has a blueprint for a seed starting rack/box/thing???  I've sketched a
couple of options (simple enuff) but I'd like to get some other ideas from
somebody who has actually built one.

    Know this was long...sorry.  Looking foward to another fine SQFT Summer!
