As always, I got carried away, and so far I&#8217;m up to about 500 seeds in dirt. Add these cups to the 200 or so pepper plants, and\u00a0I have a house full of plants ! I plan on starting a few more, simply to get odd varieties, and save seeds for next year. Soon it will be time to start cucumbers, and melons.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my first year with the greenhouse, and to play it safe, I&#8217;m testing out the heater setup before I move all of these seedlings. Currently, there are two tomatoes out there, and I recently installed a automatic heating system.\u00a0The heating system consists of a\u00a0&#8220;Line Voltage&#8221; thermometer, wired up to a wall outlet. When the tempurature drops below 55 F, the thermometer flips an internal switch, which sends 120 V to the wall outlet. I have an electric heater plugged into this outlet as well as a fan to circulate the air a bit. If my two test tomatoes don&#8217;t look too ragged in a few\u00a0days, I&#8217;ll start stocking the water tables with little plants. If not, the plants will be safe in the house&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been spending a good amount of time these last few days planting Tomato seeds for this years garden.
