Basement Greenhouse















Two days ago the sun was shining, the kids were flying kites with their dad, and the field was a nice fresh green color. Now the chickens are burrowed back in the coop and we are burrowed in the house. The geese are the only ones brave enough to walk around- but they think they own the place anyway. We're hoping that Saturday will be nice enough to put up the greenhouse. I am really needing to put all the cool spring vegetable seedlings outside. Right now, my basement looks like a jungle and with all the growlights, we are probably visible from space.




















I have two 3-tiered tables each with 6 flourescent lights. I could use at least 3 more of these setups. I've been germinating seeds in milk jugs and then transplanting into normal nursery trays, but I'v run out of room for everything so the seedlings have been staying in the milk jugs longer than they normally would...

Today I am transplanting Rutgers and Black from Tula tomatoes. I'm sure their little legs were getting cramped and they will be grateful for a small space of their own finally.
