Timing: Taxes and Seeds

Taxes got done today.  Not good.  A switch in the timing of our real estate taxes meant that a second installment of last year's tax was paid the first of January of this year, depriving us of fully half our deduction for 2011.  Timing.  It made a big difference.

Friday morning, March 9, after book group is here on Thursday, I am starting seeds under the new grow lights on the living room half wall.

It's time.  8 weeks till last frost in early May.

These can be sown outdoors in May: 

Nasturtiums (Double Gleam Mixed and Moonlight climber)

Sunflowers (inside the netted cage towers I made)

Zinnias, and dwarf sunflowers (under soda bottle cloches)

These need to start in flats under lights on Friday:

Salvia Lady in Red

Lobelia Crystal Palace

Petunia Baby Duck

Pansy Clear Crystal Black

Linaria Fairy Bouquet

Will there be enough room under the two small table top lights?
