Last year I had some problems with figuring out which tomatoes were which. For this batch of seeds though, all the seedlings looked pretty different.Charmcitybalconygardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920355372618728018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140664535104162970.post-52090019704153590342012-04-03T20:45:09.550-07:002012-04-03T20:45:09.550-07:00You've been so busy...I hope you are able to f...You've been so busy...I hope you are able to find time to garden!Charmcitybalconygardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920355372618728018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140664535104162970.post-76062628802164618312012-04-03T20:43:15.606-07:002012-04-03T20:43:15.606-07:00Hi Nancy, I suppose "cheap" is relative....Hi Nancy, I suppose "cheap" is relative. I found the mat at a local garden store for $25. I'm surprised how hot the mat gets. I'm slightly worried that it is cooking my seeds.Charmcitybalconygardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920355372618728018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140664535104162970.post-9381337191727571862012-04-03T11:42:42.327-07:002012-04-03T11:42:42.327-07:00awesome!

I have just recently started a blog posting pictures of my small back yard garden if you would like to take a look.
