An on again, off again journal of my gardening exploits. Starting on an apartment balcony in 2009, we created "Gross Farms" in our backyard on a small lot in Wauwatosa, WI. 2014 and 2015 were successful years for Gross Farms 2.0 in Oconomowoc, WI. Now we live in the tiny town of Kroghville, WI and are embarking on Gross Farms 3.0—bigger and better than ever!

Seeds & Grow Rack
Today I placed my seed order with Seed Savers. I ordered everything listed in the previous post, for a grand total of $124.02. I also took a trip to Lowe's with my husband, and purchased the materials for a seed starting rack. The 6-foot utility rack, 2 shop lights, light bulbs, power strip with timer, S hooks, zip ties, and 4 small bags of potting mix came to $152.79. So, start-up costs this year are a little high (especially considering I'll be expanding the garden plots), but it's going to be a fun season!! Once I start my first seeds, I'll take pictures.

If you've got two seconds, you may want to look at my video post on setting up a seed starting unit at Suburban Hobby Farmer http://bit.ly/gE6uxd.
ReplyDeleteLooks like our seed-starting setups are similar - mine's just a lot taller.
