Default Re: DIY greenhouse - $30 maybe

Up to 24 Tomato seedlings as of today
Another snowstorm coming in tonite & tomorrow
I switched the heat mat on 24x7 until enough germinate
Last year that was 19 days, then I switch to maybe 4-5 hours on each nite
It takes approx 10 days for the peppers seeds to germinate
The Black Krim are the fastest to germinate so far - I think all of them are growing
Its 80 days to harvest on those so nice to get an early start
I think last year it was Late July or into August before I had my 1st Krim
I was still getting rid of Ground Hogs last year...into July (4 dead)
So we'll see if there are any left this year

I have a 2nd old sand box (8x8 maybe) to assemble this year as a 2nd raised garden
Still looking for fencing to extend the garden out another 10x40'
But with less seedlings this year I'm hoping to give them all more growing room
