The winner is RebeccaW who said “The first thing I would start would be kale and cabbage to get a jump start on the spring cool season here in the Mid-Atlantic!”
**********************
You know what’s awesome about winter gardening in cold climates? Not much. The ground outside is frozen, the fresh harvests of the summer are over. Or are they? If you have a little space {on top of the washer/dryer anyone?} and an awesome grow light, winter gardening just got pretty exciting. There’s all sorts of new growth potential with a grow light. I’ve had my Hydrofarm Jump Start T5 Grow Light System for a few years and it’s completely changed the way I garden in the winter or start my seeds indoors.
Because I love my grow light so much, I think you should have one, too! So I’ve teamed up with the cool peeps at Hydrofarm.com to give one away. Wahoo! Now you have a chance to win your very own Hydrofarm Jump Start T5 Grow Light System.
Not that familiar with grow lights? Well they aren’t all created equal. Here’s what I love most about the T5:
- It’s an awesome light system for starting seeds, propagating cuttings, and growing indoor flowers and houseplants
- It’s feather-touch height-adjustment mechanism raises or lowers fixture easily
- It has premium-quality ETL-listed fluorescent fixture with wide reflector provides maximum coverage and is energy efficient
- The T5 has a high output grow light fixture and bulb with a 6′ grounded cord
- The system measures approximately 50 x 18 x 31 inches and comes with a full 1-year warranty
The Jump Start T5 System is great starter system if you’re new to the world of indoor gardening. It’s awesome if you want to up your gardening game raise your own plants from seed, or even if you’re a seasoned vet looking for a replacement grow light. It’s the only grow light I use. I’ve tried other grow lights and my T5 is by far my favorite! So it’s what I use to start all my seeds indoors. And if you’re the lucky winner, it can be yours!

Linda says
Hi Mavis. I would start all my peppers – bell, poblano, anaheim. I spend a fortune (and get frustrated trying to find) for seedlings because I don’t get enough light in my house in the place where I can keep seedlings safe from the marauding hordes (cats and dogs.)

Michelle Johnson says
The first thing I would do would be to get my peppers and tomatoes started. Grow lights are super helpful for gardeners where I live, in Minnesota, because our growing season is shorter than most people’s, and it’s a great way to get those plants hardy before planting them outside in the constant wind that batters most of the garden plants during the summer. I would love one!

Linda Anderson says
It would be hard to choose what seeds to begin under the grow light, but since I have never had success with cucumbers or peas, they would be the likely candidates. Since I live in deep south Texas, the time from our last frost to severe heat is short. A grow light might really help to get those plants started early! Anyway, thanks for the give-away!

Nancy Durrant says
I would grow tomatoes and green peppers

I have started my little seedlings with natural light but I think my Tomatoes darkings need a little extra help from a higher power. Lol

Thank you for ALL the wonderful advice on both blogs!!!

Hi Mavis!
If I won the Hydrofarm Jump Start T5 System, the first thing you would start to grow would be a collection of beneficial insect and bee attracting plants. I want to start beekeeping and would love to spice up my landscape with all the things they love and also bring in the ‘good’ bugs to naturally chase away the ‘bad’ bugs as well as help pollinate the various edible plants and trees we have. This is an exciting opportunity! 😀
Thanks!

Mary Gorham says
I would grow lettuce first! My elementary school students help me plant my various seeds and they choose from my seed bin what they want to plant. Last year I had 15 squash that overtook my garden and I couldn’t even find my pepper plants. This year I’ll be more careful about what I set out for choices! I also subscribed to your daily feed. Thanks!

2.) I follow you on all your social media! I like Pinterest for the recipes (that soon I’ll be growing the ingredients for!), the FB for any posts I might have missed and your Instagram for the pictures. (That seem pretty professional! My photos all just look sad and blurry. lol)
3.) I emailed my mother about this since she responds better to that than on her social media that she neglects. Plus she’s a great gardener!
4.) I technically already commented on the actual article, but I loved the how to grow plants from seeds post so much I commented on the FB post too. Please keep writing more like that!
#5.)I’ve already been subscribed to your email list but I’d do it again if I could cause I really enjoy seeing how successful your garden is and how mine might hopefully get that way! (As it is currently blizzarding here in MN, I’m dreaming of my garden!)

I would start my summer squash and beans. I plant them in my windowsill to start them, but with the cold winters where I am at, its just not enough, and they barely grow. My husband didn’t care for my plan to start veg in the bathroom on top of the cabinets, so I stick with windowsills 🙂
Vicky says
The first thing I would start would be some pansies. Living in the high desert of Oregon, I find I crave color and pansies are one of the first plants I can put out that can handle the cold nights.

Julia says
I’d start kale for the bunnies and rosemary for me!! My indoor Rosemary plant died unexpectedly. Sniff sniff.
Julie says
I would be tempted to just plant myself under it first… Living in the Pacific NW is beautiful most of the year, but right about now I realize how solar-powered I am!
Once I am done though, I would start tomatoes, basil, kale and eggplant, so I don’t have to spend days hunting for the elusive ‘Casper’ eggplant, and ‘Striped Roma’ tomato at every local nursery within 50 miles!
Julie says
I am following DFYD on Instagram, Pintrest and Facebook – and have shamelessly shared ‘you’ on all of them. Thank You!

first… I’d like to try my hand at starting some Japanese primroses! They just look gorgeous and I’m itching to see if I can get them to naturalize in the moist shady spots of our gardens. 🙂 Too early for veggies yet up northeast!

I would start growing my spring garden. I would plant all of my veggies for the spring that require indoor sowing and finally be able to start them early. Moving into a new house I am starting from scratch (which is annoying, but fun).

KL says
I just started seeds of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. I’m trying something new this year-going to try sprouting in ziplocks then move to a pot as soon as they sprout (since I don’t have one of these fancy grow lights- I conserve the space for only seeds that grow).

This year I plan to expand my gardening efforts so I can can/preserve more and reduce my grocery bills… Since my small suburban backyard is mostly hillside, my gardening is limited to two small raised beds, containers and hanging pots. I’ve started shopping for beautiful edibles to add to my containers and flower beds. If I won the grow light system, I’d get started planting artichokes, a gorgeous peacock kale/broccoli, and starting cucamelons that I’ll transplant to hanging pots and (hopefully) pickle this summer!
I shared this giveaway on Facebook (entry two), and already like and follow you on Facebook and Pinterest (does this count?)… Love your sites!

Lemon cucumbers. Those two words are magic. It’s an heirloom variety we only got to know when we were in upstate New York and the Hudson Valley Seed Library had little packets. We fed almost all our neighbors and carried many with us on vacation and made new friends while making salads of this unusual cucumber!

I’m ready to start tomatoes, peppers, and cole crops. Everything else either gets direct seeded or started later (cukes, pumpkins, etc…) I usually start seeds under HID, Metal Halide which produces a fair amount of UV which lessens damage when hardening off. But this set up would be a great start on my aquaponics set up. Also, subscribed and did the whole FB thing…
