    Default Starting seeds

    I had a light set-up in a spare room where I started my seeds.It wasn't pretty but served the purpose.My hubby moved everything to the basement last Spring,against my better judgement,but anyway tried it but seedlings do not do well there,too cool.
    I wanted something portable that I could take down after plants move to the Greenhouse,end of March.Also I didn't want to spend money,if I could help it.After alot of thought it hit me,and didn't cost a dime!!!!Had this in the shed,brought lights back up from basement and now plants are happy and cats can't get to them.WIN WIN.I am hanging a second light and a larger shelf so I can sow more seeds.

    Thanks everyone,see what you teach folks here! I just wanted something that would work,and was willing to buy something if need be.So I kept saying to myself,FV has tought me to think and be creative and recycle,and don't spend money foolishly.
    I am kinda proud of myself with this and eager to solve other problems being as frugal.
