Getting Ready for Seed Starting

I finally have my grow lights and table set up. I will be planting rubarb, tomatoes, peppers and some flowers if I can squeeze them all on the table. Last year I purchased a timer which will help me immensely! With the nice weather, I'm not sure if I need the plastic sheeting yet.
I have most of the newspaper I need for making seed tapes. I used my new paper cutter to cut the newpaper. It was so easy!

I think I went a little overboard when ordering seeds! I purchased my seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds this year. They were much cheaper than Burpee's! I learned that heirloom seeds can be saved from the vegetables to use next year so that will help me save money! Also, I don't have to plant all of the seeds this year. They're good for another year or so. I can't believe I planted all the seeds from the packets in previous years!
