Awaiting Spring

My eagerness for spring to arrive is boiling over. On January 7th I started seeds from the following plants: petunias, pansy's and daisy's. They seem to be growing much too slowly. This is my first attempt at seed growing, I have nothing to compare my efforts to.

I have many more seeds to germinate. I am thankful for the new pvc grow light I constructed last weekend. It can hold up to 12 regular sized seedling flats. I have my hibiscus on the bottom portion under lights, hoping they leaf out well before I set them back outside.
