I have seed trays  from last year that I am going to use but Amazon has a 5 pack of seed trays each one has 12 spaces and they come with the light they need to help them grow and they were 40 percent off so I couldn't resist so I ordered two sets plus I ordered I few packs of seeds. Red peppers, Italian flat string beans, sugar snap peas,  green zucchini and I ordered a couple bags of seed starter soil..  Last year I ordered black beauty eggplant seeds but they grew well but they weren't black beauty eggplants they were actually better. Kinda short fat eggplants that were delicious and the cutest eggplants I have ever seen. Everyone that saw them said how cute they were. I still have some seeds from last year. I ordered two butterfly bushes from qvc .the flowers are all different color flowers. I'm dying for spring time.Good luck gardening this upcoming gardening season.

I don't have good luck with seed trays, so I went to my local nursery last week They were fully stocked with tomato plants and the cucumbers I wanted. I planted them on Friday. 

I did plant spinach from seed in my garden a couple of weeks ago. It's doing great.

Thank you for the heads up Pooky!  I did find it on Amazon just searching seed trays and discounts and ordered it.  I am hoping it works - it looks much less cumbersome than my old giant grow light fixture that I have used for years.  Thank you again for posting your great find - 40% off and free shipping!

I Wasn't Even looking for that stuff.it was on the home page..probably because I just had seeds in my cart.so when I saw it I had to order it. I guess it makes sense that they do that .I saw it and bought 2 and word of mouth you also bought it. Hopefully we both love it. I will be writing about it once I use it and the herb garden I plant  four or five days ago I just noticed the basil is just starting to sprout.

@Pooky1  Love it! I hear you, I saw our first Robin the other day and was so tickled! They never overwinter here, so I am sure it was a sign of Spring. If you have never seen the seed catalog from Baker Creek, it is magnificent! They collect seeds from all over the world, heirlooms and varieties of vegetables and flowers you never heard of. They have two catalogs, one is free and it is amazing and the other one is called The Whole Seed catalog, it is bigger and costs money. You can order a free one from their website. I am planning a 10 foot handmade trellis in an A-Frame shape and will plant King of the Garden Lima beans at the bases of it. They are so good, you can eat them fresh or dry them and keep them in glass jars. Last time I planted them, most of the beans were 2 inches each and tender as all get out! Sorry for rambling, I guess I have Spring fever too! Good luck with your crops! 🥒🫛🍆

Hopein24 I get it totally. I feel the same way. I'm dying to start out door gardening of veggies and flowers. So ramble on. I like reading all of it. I noticed last night that the indoor herb garden I just planted less than a week ago the first herb is starting to grow.my basil. Enjoy gardening this season.. What part of the country are you in? I'm in Rhode Island so we have to wait to plant veggies until  like may 20th depending on how weather is. last year I made with a Hugh peace of plastic and wood benches a greenhouse to put all my seed trays so plants would grow good and stong.I new they wouldn't do as well in the house.they did really well like that. I'm going to do it this year just with more seed trays.  Good luck gardening this season.

I just planted my Cilantro and Basil yesterday and have checked it four times now for any sprouting! 🤣 Rhode Island? I was born in Connecticut, but live in Ohio. I have a lot of family that live in RI and CT. Hope Valley and Westerly. Also in Niantic. Great idea with the seed trays. I will plant some leaf lettuce in the rest of the spots in my aerogarden, that way can cut some for salad and just leave the rest to keep producing. I got a hand auger drill for Christmas and will make my Lima trellis out of limbs with it. Love the birds, the garden and the fresh air and playing in the dirt! Can't wait to get outside. 🐝🦋
