Lighted Seed Starting Rack 123

 Starting seeds can be a sanity saver for many of us waiting  through a long winter for spring to arrive. 

 Last year my husband and I built a seed starting rack with lights so I could survive the winter gardening blues.  It was an easy and  fun project.

We purchased a metal shelf unit from Sams club. Then we  bought shop lights from Home Depot that could be plugged into a powerstrip so that no electrical wiring was necessary.

 Easy peasy.

 The only problem I found was that I wish we had made two shelves.

    I’m a little jealous! I have a seed starting club (5 of us) in our neighborhood, every year we each grow 3 flats of plants and then get together right before the last frost to trade plants and enjoy a glass of wine! It’s great fun every year, although some of us come to the table with more plants than others ;)

    What a wonderful idea to set this up. You can have a bit of spring during winter now!
