take over = lots of tomatoes

isn't that the goal?

Kimera-depends on what your goal is-mine is to have more than one or two varieties in the size of greenhouse that I have and BB will have.

Default Ok, here's a curious question about starting seeds in a greenhouse....

If I'm starting seeds in a greenhouse, can I just scatter them in a flat of dirt and leave them on the potting bench? OR...Do they need to be in some type of seed starting contraption with a clear dome to let light in and keep moisture in? I've always used the "dome" devices, but that was in my closet under a grow light. Does the greenhouse environment eliminate the need for this dome?

The greenhouse is only an 8 x 12, but it's an all glass, Victorian repro. "conservatory" type. If I had a greenhouse that was any larger, I'd probably move in. LOL. Too much space and I'd be out of control. I chose a smaller one because I was thinking more about resale on my house, and having something that wouldn't look garish in the middle of the suburbs. Orchids are a high priority for us and our weather gets more unpredictable every year, so I'm glad to have this.
