Indoor Growing

Since it is freezing cold outside, I thought this might be a good time to talk about indoor planting/growing.

My husband and I (I think I should say, my Husband & Father InLaw- Dave) built a greenhouse about 4 years ago.  We thought our growing season is so short that if we had the plants ready to bloom right before we take them outside we might have better luck especially with our tomatoes.

Keep in mind the growing of various seeds inside is an on going experiement, and does require allot of patience.

One great tool to have in a greenhouse for winter growth is a Grow Light.  We purchased a Hydrofarm JSV2 2 foot jump start T5 Grow Light system.  There are many out there to choose from, but I found a great deal on Amazon and liked that it had stands so went with it.  They are not to expensive and will really jump start the growth of seeds.

Not sure if you can see in this picture, the grow light?

Here are a couple of pictures of our greenhouse.  The green house is connected to a very sturdy "Kicking Wall" that we put in place so our daughters can practice soccer kicks, throw softballs and so forth.
