You are funny, Suzy! I don't have a basement (LOL) but I do grow year round under lights and heating pads when the seeds need the warmth under them to germinate.

**My confession is that as i get older the less I grow for the outside except for a cutting garden and tropicals. I seem to be addicted to propagating African violets and all her many relatives.

I now have 8 big 72" stands in my little farmhouse and they are full of the gesneriads and begonias.

I am just jealous that you all can grow the magnificent perennials that i can't. It is hard enough to find even the annuals which will tolerate our sun. I lived in zone 6 for 11 years in Ruidoso, NM so I am showing a little envy of y'all. (LOL)

I was just saying on the AV forum what a miracle it is what gro lights and a little fertilizer can do to have inside blooms year around.
