First seeds in, first seeds up

I got the onions and violas into a flat of starter mix last weekend.  This weekend they are pretty, green, little shoots. I also did two pots of micro greens and those are up as well. They need another set of leaves before I can use them, but they are growing quickly.
The basement has been staying on the cool side, less than 60 degrees on some checks.  I have closed off my propagation room to try and retain some of the furnace heat.  I also have the seed heating mat under the onions and domed lids over all the germination pots to keep them warm and moist.  So far, so good.  I talked to my husband about putting a folding door on this room so I can do the best job possible for keeping the room warm enough.  It is definitely colder this winter than it was last year.
The next seed order is ready to go.  I have to wait for pay day to send this one out.  Seeds always are signs of spring to me.
