Hi everyone!
I've been looking through the threads here and was particularly interested in Melissa's baby thread. I think I would like to try starting some, myself ... 'cause I'm in need of another expensive hobby!
So I have some questions.
1. I noticed no one mentioned using bottom heat when they were starting seeds. Should I just take that for granted?
2. I am not in a tropical area, so my plants would have to overwinter in my basement. It is pretty dark and cool down there. Would that be okay for plants that are dormant? Even if it gets as cool as 55f? Is it okay to keep them in the dark if they're dormant, or will fluorescent light be okay?
3. On the other hand, I have a hoop house that I can also use in spring- but it can get Very Hot in there at times- how hot can my plants get and be okay?
Thank you in advance for helping a newbie!
