Seedlings.... Too many!

Today I got around to separating some of my seedlings-- the catnip and the daylillies. This is bad... Why? because I didn't expect so many, that's why. I misjudged how much space they would take. This was my plan: A shelf for perennial flowers (I already have a shelf and a half plus a kitchen windowsill), a shelf of herbs for my herb garden this year (already there is a half shelf of just catnip and a million peppermint seedlings I haven't separated yet....), One shelf for my succulents and cactus (this is fine), I wanted one shelf for annual flowers that I wanted to start inside (most will be started outside), and two shelves of veggies like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and a shelf for roses and a shelf for maples... Maybe I can still manage to find room somewhere for my African violets where the kitties can't get em...

Notice I have to put catnip and daylillies higher up where kitties don't go. daylillies would be gone in less then a minute if I had them on a low shelf.

3 seeds of thought:

I hate to admit this on the record, but I have so many seedlings that each tray has to take a 12 hour turn at the lights. Twice a day I change them, at nine in the morning and nine at night.

I'm in the same boat with you. I have too many plants and not enough room on my
grow light shelves

It's getting tighter and probably going to get tighter.

Good luck with your dilemma.

Looks good. I haven't started any seeds yet, but need to soon.
