Garden Report
It's been cool, grey, and rainy almost all week, it's like we're turning into Seattle or something. The seeds I planted directly outside are getting nowhere because it's too cold.
Meanwhile I'm still daydreaming about plants. Where did this madness come from? Anyway, I am already thinking ahead to next year and how I want to start my seeds indoors. To really make a go of this I will need a grow light. The seed starting catalogs sell cunning little setups involving metal shelves, concealed chains, and so on, but they are fantastically expensive. I could just rig a shop light somewhere but I thought this gardener had a great idea for building a little seed starting shelf.
The trouble is that neither my husband or I have any experience whatever with carpentry. If I lived near my dad, he could build it for me, but given his tendency to procrastinate I wouldn't have it until 2010.
My dh suggested that we could just buy shelves and customize them, so I will have to keep my eyes open for something suitable. I just like the look of the little wood shelves. Considering I don't have to worry about starting seeds until next January, I don't know why I'm spending so much time thinking about this.
