Grow Station

We set up a grow station in our basement. Nothing fancy, we just hung a grow light from the ceiling rafters with some chains and bungee cords. We're setting my seedlings on Steve's work bench. The bungees with hooks will allow me to adjust the height of the light as the plants grow. I can already see a difference!

It's only been one night and I think the seedlings are flourishing!

I have another tray and set of pods for my my next batch. I plan on transferring these guys, once they are hardy enough to move to these biodegradable planters I bought. Then I'll start my next batch. 

We'll need to get started on the garden soon! I told Steve the other day that I don't expect him to build as nice a one as he did before, only because it's going to be so much bigger.

That, and I really want to fence this garden - the entire thing, because I'm worried about deer and other animals eating all my veggies. So, instead of doing those beautiful wood log fencing, I told him we could do some {cringe} chainlink fencing. Ugh, I hate even typing that! But, it'll have to do for this year. Plus, I'm not 100% sure that we won't move the garden again...I mean, I don't think we'd move it again, but I guess you never know. And it likely isn't going to be real chainlink, but something sturdy and easier to put up than wood logs and then wrapping that with chicken wire. We'll see what we come up with!
