My indoor seed starting diary

[Stepheninky]

I have bought one of those three shelf mini greenhouses to get a head start on planting out seeds. I will be adding lights and building it all out in the next day or two. (I will try and provide some pics along the way) The plan will be to use it indoors in till it warms up and then transfer it outside.

Here is a stock pic of it for now


So one of the things I was needing is seed starting trays, with shipping etc they were kinda expensive to be honest online, So I went around my town to the box stores . Everywhere I went they told me at the big box stores that they will not have them till march. The guy working at Lowe's explained to me that they actually send them back to the vender for credit in the winter months.

So I wondered around one of the big box stores doing some other shopping and came across something that I think will work and that was fairly economical. Those little white plastic cups like used in a dentist office. We always called the paper ones Dixie Cups and these were called bathroom cups. Anyways at 100 for 1.50 thought that was pretty good. They are 3 oz white plastic cups. So I will poke a hole in the bottom for drainage and probably use those to start my seeds.
