We set up a little "green house" in the basement with a grow-light hanging above it. This area also happens to be the area where we feed the cats. Bella in particular seems to be very interested in the plantings. We used double sided tape to attach the containers to the tabletop so neither Bella nor Milo will push them off. Hopefully. That would irritate me a bit.
The next step will be to get another grow light to hang for the other two starter boxes. And now I wonder if I have enough starter boxes!
In addition to the cats being potential irritants in the growing process I'm a little worried it might not be warm enough yet for the seedlings to grow downstairs. One of two options I'm thinking...I know I read one could use a heating pad on low with the starter boxes on top (possibly a towel in between) or we could use a space heater. If we used the heating pad the ability to stick the containers to the tabletop is no longer an option. Heating the entire basement for just a few little seeds seems kind of ridiculous as well so I need to contemplate this a bit and monitor the temp for a day or so. Or, I suppose we could move the grow boxes to the office!
Day One - the seeds are all nestled in their beds.
