I finally got around to posting a couple pictures of this year's seed starting setup! It's in my basement.

DH made "I" shaped frames out of 2x4's so double sets of lights could be raised & lowered on one set of ropes tied to the rafters. The ropes adjust with taut-line hitches (DH is an Eagle Scout).

I can fit 16 flats on this shelving unit ("Gorilla" shelf from Sam's Club), which is set up in a side-by-side configuration rather than being 6 shelves tall. I'll post another picture to show more clearly how the lower lights are set up.

You can see tomatoes, peppers, and daylily seedlings to the upper right, basil seedlings to the lower right, assorted flower seedlings are to the lower left, and the upper left shelf has 2 double size seedling heat mats with lots of little seed starting flats (aka takeout containers).
