More Garden 2020

Following Gary's at the Rusted Garden's advice, I put aluminum foil all around the inside of the Rubbermaid tote so the plants could get more light.  I also moved it off the kitchen island so the greenhouse is out of the way and I can work in the kitchen!

You can see the foil and the lamp operating.  We ordered a power strip that has a manual timer so the lights will be on 16 hours a day without me having to remember to turn them off or on.  Bonus!!!

This is a close-up of the greenhouse with the foil and lamp.  You can see that some of the pieces of two by fours I collected from dumpsters outside building sites in our neighborhood have come in handy.  After hearing about not only sunshine/full spectrum lights, that the lights should be 2 inches from the plants, I found another piece of that dumpster-dived two by twelve and lifted the tomatoes up.
