I can't believe this is the 4th year I have been doing an early indoor garden. You may remember my set up from years past. This is a (heavy) homemade contraption my Dad put together for me that has been modified to include 2 lights last year and a small heating pad underneath the plants:
I'm only doing a total of 50 seedlings (tomatoes, green peppers, jalapeno, cucumber & zucchini) because in years past I have been known to go way overboard. This should be sufficient! I also am trying a new starter tray. In the past I have done peat pots and this year I am trying pellets. This is also much later than in the past, but it has been a cold spring and hopefully the plants will still have plenty of time to grow!
This year gardening will be a little bitter sweet but I hope the memories of years past fill me with the enjoyment and fulfillment which made me love gardening in the first place.

Update - Shortly after posting this I was driving and it was kind of rainy and I was feeling sad about Dad and the garden. I looked up and saw this:

See the rainbow? It lasted less than a minute and then was gone. What a beautiful sign of hope and love. Dad is watching from heaven!
