I have a shelving unit in my craft room with lights attached.  I start all of my little seeds under these lights.

This flat contains my petunias.  I use the small peat pellets for these.  I also use the small ones for any spring veggies that I grow and also for most of my herbs.

The pictures below are of my tomato seedlings.  When my plants get too tall for the above shelves, I move them to this stand where I can adjust the light height.  The leaves tend to burn and curl when allowed to stay in contact with the lights.

I also use the largest peat pellets I can find for these.

I need to get my pictures posted.  My tomato seedlings are big.

My romas all came up except 2, same with my cherry tomatoes.  My tomatillos didn't perform as well.  Only half came up.  The seeds were only a year old, so I'm not sure what the deal was there. All of my other tomatoes came up very well.  So they are thriving too.

My peppers are still coming up.  So I will post those results soon.

My herbs did well, except thyme.  I reseeded those peat pellets on Monday.  So hopefully they will come up.  I planted:  Lemon Basil, Genovese Basil, Sweet Large Italian Basil, Summer Savory, Sorrel, Marjoram, Sage, Fenugreek, Greek Oregano, Italian Oregano, Summer Thyme, Flat Leaf Parsely, Cilantro, Cress.

My flowers, especially the petunias, did very well. Dichondra also came up.  The others are still coming up.

I built a new light station for my taller plants, so they wouldn't get burned when they started touching the lights.

I will try and post pictures, once I get my taxes done.
