Seed starting in the library

I started my pepper and tomato seeds this week, using my upstairs library (the warmest room in the house) as the nursery.  I went all hot with the peppers, since they are so productive and pickle well- we are just finishing our last jar from 2012.  Here's the line up for 2013: Hungarian Wax, Jalapeno Gigante, Bulgarian Carrot and a few pots of Slim Jim Eggplant. I have a heat pad on low under the flat because peppers and eggplant really need it hot to germinate.

In the bookcases (fitted with lights) I have started Mortgage Lifter, Roma VF, Celebrity and Sweet 100's tomatoes.  Here's a pic of Sol observing the pots from his favorite chair:
