Now, two weeks later, there really is some green to look at.  You can see spinach in the bucket along with digitalis camelot, knautia, blue bedder salvia, and dianthus amazon in the trays.

I have to confess that I’m really growing these under lights inside, except for the spinach, and just bringing them out in the greenhouse for short periods of time.  We are still having nights in the 20s and I can’t trust my water buckets to keep it from freezing in there.  According to the maximum/minimum thermometer I have in the greenhouse, it has gone down to 30 right on top of the buckets a couple of times.  I believe that the water in the buckets is just not getting very warm during the day.  I could add a little heater at night.  I’ll have to do something soon, since, as of today, I have twelve flats of plants started, which uses all the room I have under the lights.
