Raised Beds and Gardens
We are starting our first raised beds this year. We did a couple bucket tomatoes last year. I have 5 of the 72 cell trays under grow lights of assorted vegetables. Please share this year’s garden pictures. (Once I find a hosting site, I will post my “leggy” starts.)

Leggy plants are a result of gro-lites too far away from plants and 2-3 inches is best with atleast 18 hours on.
You have to get the kelvins and lumans right also
Plants need planting in soil,not buckets if production in desired.Raised bed require much more water ,it drains rapidly .
U tube Gary Pilarchik is a good source.

Thanks for the advice.

Let’s see if I can figure out this picture thing.

Potatoes are easy, taste better.

Growing a garden is the rage right now, mail order supplies if need be.

Some States, like MI, are messing with selling seeds at many stores.
