OK so this is my first year trying to make my own starters indoors. Here's my problem. My best sun is in the front of the house. But the entire front is an enclosed porch. The porch is plenty warm during the day, but at night it gets cold.

SO!

Will I have to bring all of my starters in at night? Let's say it gets down in the 30s and 40s at night?

Did I just answer my own question?

I guess if other people have questions they can ask them here, too.

My problem with trying starters is that I don't get really good sunlight anywhere in my house. I keep thinking I should go buy seeds and then remember I've got nowhere to put them.

you can put them on a heating pad on a timer that goes on when it gets chilly.

I've never had a problem with cold but yes a heating pad I think would be the ideal solution. Seeds are fun!

My mother in law, an avid gardener, has the same problem re sun, and she uses heating pads with hers. Works beautifully.

You'd do fine with cool loving crops - lettuce, cabbage family, etc. But you would need a heating pad or else bring in warm loving crops like tomatoes, cukes, etc.
