Sorry, Pippi, you dropped off my radar!

I asked how much yard space you had because I was going to suggest that, instead of going with a whole indoor light set up, you could just start your seeds in one-gallon milk jugs, placed outside, in the cold and snow, in the middle of winter (YES!), and let 'em rip! You'd get all the seedlings you want for springtime.

Check out the WINTER SOWING FORUM. There are scores of people in your growing zone who are veterans at this ridiculously simple, fuss free way to start gazillions of seedlings for spring.

The setup you see here is the veggie seedlings (tomatoes, peppers) I started last December 21st. It was my first time, and I got the best, prettiest tomato and pepper seedlings I have ever had. Most of them went to friends and co-workers who grew them in their yards. I'm about to start again in a few more weeks for my spring veggie garden. I'll also be doing flower seeds, too, for the first time..
