I noticed in the last part of December they had them in Home Depot in a display with the Jiffy seed starting stuff, etc. You might try there.

Steve:

I have not found heat mats at any of the stores in my area. The best I have found is $20 on the web for a combo heat mat and seed starting kit. Good luck in finding one at Walmart! I did see one lady who used an old electric blanket but I don't have one of those, either.

Brenda-- I feel that your part of sunny ca is a lot different from the midwest and eastcoast as they always change the stores around for the winter season here and dont even bring out the seed starting stuff till after the first of the year, whereas yours probably stay out year round. I have a heating pad but afraid to use it as it may get too hot for my seedlings, even though it has a low setting. I guess I dont have to have one , but I would like to have one for the b&b and other stubborn ones like subrotunda.
