| + | * 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. | ||

| + | * 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: | ||

| + | * 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. | ||
