Garden

I wanted to start a vegetable garden. I was lucky enough to acquire some indoor grow lights. When starting this idea, I wanted to see if I could be as resourceful as possible and recycle as much stuff that I could. I also wanted to keep my plants and animals as organic as I possibly could. I have a room in my basement that is under the front porch. It does get a little water in it from time to time so I don't use if for anything. Why not turn it into an indoor green house.

Indoor garden lights set up.

 That's Jiffy Organic starter soil. I only planted certified organic seeds. 

Don't use Martha Stewart Brand! They rot!

The Purple sled is being used to catch any run off water and condensation, as well as the white plastic shelf.

 Week Old Cucumber seedlings.

 Red and Yellow Onions week old seedlings.

The smaller tray is Carrots. I only planted them on the 22nd.

 Back to the recycling idea. I saved my coffee K-cups and asked my friends to do the same. I purchased the Jiffy organic seed pellets and they fit perfectly inside them. Then I also used square cake tins with lids as my own form of green house.

 Here they are with Basil and Oregano starting to grow in only 3 days.

Radishes I started in the cake tray.Perfect for root vegetables!
