| Holy vegetables, I have taken on quite a load this year!!! I do not own any plant lights. I just have the entire southern side of our home almost completely windows.
Attempting to grow:
Anyone have any growing advice? I'm a first year gardener! |

| I'm right there with you. Instead of overwintering, I am using windows and lights to keep the harvest going with my perennials. Currently, I am having great success with growing Juliet tomatoes from seed. This will be my first year too. |

| I am trying to get started up this weekend. I have a fairytale eggplant that I thought was dead, but am going to bring it in today as I saw some life to it, lol! Not sure if this will do any good or not :^P going to seed up some basil and parsley for window sill. Am considering doing some tomato - pepper - cukes in my room just using the windows - they frame the corner, facing s and w so pretty good. With a wee bit of whatever they get from the very poor lighting in the room. They may start putting out in Feb or so when the days are getting a bit longer again. Thinking about leafy stuff in the kitchen - or heartier stuff in the mudroom - non heated but enclosed. Not sure how far to go on this....... Last year - I made a huge mess putting industrial shelves in my parlor for the windows, then adding a bunch of shop lights when the sun dipped behind the house next door. It was not attractive, and a big pain and scratched my hardwood floors. I need a heated and an unheated greenhouse, oh and an acre or two to boot! |
