 That early experiment reset my expectations about growing in the winter, even in an enclosed structure - but here I go again. \\   That early experiment reset my expectations about growing in the winter, even in an enclosed structure - but here I go again. \\  
  
 +===== *2026 update* =====
 +Surely, I didn't expect a different result (regardless of smaller tent and skylight maintaining warmth!
  
 +  * Spinach and carrots didn't germinate.
 +  * Radish and cabbage did germinate, but cabbages expired.
 +  * No radish fruit visible after 3 months.
 +
 +So, my desire for early seed germination must continue. I'm considering a small table-top grow tent. 
 +And:
 +
 +  * Which appears a good choice?
 +  * Exactly what do I hope to accomplish?
 +  * Where can I put it?
 +
 +I've decided on a minimum of expectations:
 +  * Spend as little as necessary for a starting tent
 +  * Buy only the minimum necessary accessories (no ventilation fan, humidifier, etc.)
 +  * Choose one that allows a lower level for two trays and a heat mat and an upper shelf trays under an LED lamp
 +  * Sow seeds for only a few plants for early growing that require germination and allow transplanting
 +  * Schedule planting for a good time to transplant when temperatures warm
 +
 +Whatever, I want to have healthy plants growing in the garden as soon as weather allows.

 I have a data logger in the center of the garden to measure and log the ambient temperature. I placed a similar setup (at the far end of the bed) to measure and log temperature inside the low tent. I have a data logger in the center of the garden to measure and log the ambient temperature.
