I woke up this morning disappointed that I did not have any new sprouts. I was at school and then at work until late tonight so I did not get home until almost 10pm and had no time to set the plants out for some sun today. I was feeling bad about this so I brought the plants upstairs to sit under our super hot floor lamp.(its one of those metal ones with three separate bulbs on adjustable things like a huge desk lamp) Well, there is a florescent bulb in one and then just plain bright white bulbs in the other ones. I thought that this would give it some good heat for today so I set them on the dresser and aimed the warm lights onto the plants. I took the lid off to allow them to get some air and what do you think?! New sprouts! The Carrots, Lima beans, Corn, Watermelon and Basil are all showing signs of sprouting. The only thing that shows no sprouts is the zucchini and tomatoes. I took a few pictures so you could see and hopefully be inspired to start your own seedlings!
