I just put 103 Granex and 36 Red Burgundy onion seeds in starter pots today. I am starting them in the house because I don't feel like keeping the greenhouse warm enough. Next month I will probably bite the bullet and start running the heat. Of course if the sun is out the greenhouse gets hot. But with night time temperatures in the teens and 20's I am not going to try.
First seeds started

Get those auto-vents for the GH roof. My 16' long GH has four vents that open when it hits 75F. I have 2 small heaters that come on at 59F. My tomato, eggplant and pepper are already up and a getting their 1st set of true leaves.
My greenhouse is heated all winter. I'm in zone 6. The tomatoes, peppers and eggplants are already up. Also started cuttings of geraniums and other perennials for the flowerbed.
I am so jealous!!
Feet of snow outside my home right now. And delighted that the temps are not supposed to be below zero (but not above freezing) for the next week - day and night.
I am looking at my seeds now. And dreaming.
