Christmas cactus is coming into bloom. I have a couple of cymbidiums, some cane begonias and misc. other houseplants. In January/February I will plant seeds for geranium, violas and pansies. I'm not bothering with impatiens seeds this year. I'll buy some early in the season and make cuttings. I have some white lavender, flowering maple and canna seeds. I haven't decided what new things to try. Perhaps I'll be able to get some interesting seeds in trade. I need to calculate outdoor planting times more carefully this year so I can use my indoor space more efficiently.

The photo is of last year's setup: made from scrap materials and a couple of shop lights. I use regular bulbs (not the expensive gro-lights) and have great success.
