Thanks Bower, I guess I'll be waiting on Asian Greens till spring!
That is good to know on the fluorescent lights. I'd like to reserve the bulbs my T5's for the tomatoes and peppers. Last year I had onions under shop lights 24/7 for 2 weeks due to snow at my country place. I had meant to buy a timer but never got to go back. I was sure they would have burned up but they did great so I just left them basking in the light for the entire winter.
Black seeded simpson is about an inch tall and I picked up a package of dragons tongue (another leaf lettuce) from my seed library (love that place!) I also started a package of mixed lettuce so hopefully I'll have some of the reds in there.
I hope you find time to start your winter greens. So many temptations in this thread.
