I transplanted some of my plants into larger pots, and got some grow lights for my little green house.
The green house is still sitting next to the fireplace
Well the snow has melted away from the house enough that my rhubarb is starting to show.
I started transplanting two days ago. I started with my herbs, and green beans.
The plant I am holding is a lemon basil I planted in an egg shell. The membrane in the eggs are very thick, almost like a rubber or leather. So I just peeled the eggs off the plants.
I reused some of the flat trays the garden centers toss at the end of the seasons.
Last year I tried to plug the holes with hot glue, it worked kinda. But this year since I will have electricity below the trays I got fancy and put garbage bags over the trays to prevent them from leaking water.
We went shopping yesterday and I was able to get three grow lights to zip tie to the bottom of the shelfs.
I love using zip ties.
I am to zip ties and Red Green is to duck tape. LOL
A close up of the plants under their new lights.
The plants are kinda hard to see, but they are there promise.
Here are the plants in the big green house.
I am prepping the potatoe buckets more. They have been painted black, and filled half way with dirt. It’s still to cold to plant though, and I have seed potatoes that need to be planted.
Hope you are well, and your spring has sprung.
