CD case mini green house

I started sprouting some seeds in tp tubes. I wrote on each tube what kind of seed I planted. Everything was going OK until the real cold set in, that happens quickly in Tahoe. So I remembered that I had put some old CD cases aside after seeing a picture of something like this. I figured it will be the perfect thing to trap in some of the warmth that comes in through the window during the day. Once the plants are big enough they will get transplanted into a 55 gallon tank I converted into an indoor garden. Once they plants are big enough in there they make their journey to our neighbors house who just happens to have a big sun room that will be perfect to start our plants early enough, we hope for a great summer harvest.

UPDATE": The pea plants have gotten so tall they are now in the bigger 55 gal tank garden. Soon they will be in a planter in a friends greenhouse. The corn, lettuce, spinach and parsley are almost to tall, so I might be transplanting my little plants sooner then later. I am ready with recycled planters.
