Kathy, there's an idea for you... It would get people to you, instead of having to guess what plants to bring to a sale.

Donna, your 'extra' plants look so pretty! By April 1, when we re-open the house, mine are spilling over too. I can't put grow lights in the living room, DH is easy going but would hate that. But shade lovers do fine tucked in among small pots of crocus, Tete-a-tetes or the like, or just on their own. Then they make the trip to the country, usually one flat at a time so I can make sure nothing lands on top of my babies, lol.

Pics 3,5 is my setup in 2011, the first year I got serious about starting perennials early in the city. The lights are T5, bought from HD... But then I found out they're not the high output, give off only 1/2 the light as the ones meant for the garden. Now I've jerry-rigged a frame so I can double them up, and use them for plants that don't need full sun to do their best.
Pic 4- Happy plants after the move

Edited to correct photo numbering!
