I don't have room for this type of set up anymore so I had to go vertical. I am not sure I will like climbing up to look at the plants.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-40289069812673399892011-02-12T20:26:47.823-06:002011-02-12T20:26:47.823-06:00Thanks Sharon,

The new set-up looks amazing, I just know you will have success with it. I used a very crude homemade shelf & light deal that Carl rigged up for me and had great luck. I hope you keep us posted on the seedling's growth, nothing like little green plants coming up to make a person know Spring is almost here.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-64902024113697831882011-02-12T08:51:33.063-06:002011-02-12T08:51:33.063-06:00Oh, Eileen, you are serious!
