Today I mailed off a couple requests to other gardeners for tomato seeds. One lady offered to let me pick some seeds from her collection for five stamps. Another was a website (Wintersown.org) that offers six free tomato seed varieties for a self addressed stamped envelope with two stamps, so I put in my request there too. I also mailed off the seeds I am trading with someone to get some zinnia seeds. I hope to have some new tomato plants in the soil by mid- or late-March!
The cucumbers that were moved into #2's room are doing fantastic. The ones I kept in the living room are all dead. So I consulted my gardening friend on Facebook and felt really dumb when I found out that seedlings only need water once a week... not every 2-3 days. Oops. My son didn't water any of the plants in his room, so of course they're looking wonderful. Glad I have more cucumber seeds! I'll just plant fresh ones in the outside garden.

Happy healthy cucumber plants in the bedroom window.
Grow light set up - some cucumbers on top, the tray of bell peppers, bowls of cucumbers, and gallon jugs with peppers. No peas in the artificial light - they get all the natural light from the windows and seem to be doing great that way.
All of the cucumbers on the floating aquaponics raft have died.. The one in the gallon top that isn't actually touching the water appears to be in good health. I still need to get an individual set up for a pepper plant to complete the aquaponics set up.
