Today I made a new seed germinating box. I have been on a lot of different forums lately, and have seen some pretty good ideas. So here is mine. It was made with stuff that i had laying around the house. I took a Rubbermaid storage cabinet and hung it on the wall in an efficiency that's attached to my house. The efficiency is not in use right now, only for storage so i am taking advantage of the little kitchen area. I put an old direct TV box inside of the cabinet plugged it in, and turned it on. Then put a thermometer on the door to monitor the temperature inside. I am also using candle warmers and placing cups on them filled with water to soak all of my seeds prior to germinating. This also helps keep a nice warm temp. inside the box. As of right now its about 85 degrees inside.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.
