A master gardener at the plant sale shared with me this tip: He said instead of spending money on expensive grow lights just get shop lamps, and install one warm light and one cool light. He said you did not even have to mess with hanging the lamp from the ceiling...just get some books! Add more books as the plant grows. You can see what I did here. As long as there isn't an earthquake I am good :-)
I am keeping my tomato plants inside (on my dining room table) until Mother's Day. He said for my windy and cool conditions in Foster City Mother's Day would be my optimum time for planting.
