Want to try some Tuscan Kale which are reputed to be less bitter than regular kale, and some black spanish radishes (reputed to be medicinally good for asthma, among other things). I've never been a medicinal gardener at all but adding that might be interesting (and possibly cheaper than inhalers sometimes?). <br />Love that you wired your own lighting though. You're the queen of crafty when it comes to getting the job done. And btw I loved the baggie boots. We had the same snow/ice here and it got tricky to walk in, even IN boots. Not sure if you know of this tool, but one that we found very helpful last year was an "Action Hoe" which i think is called a stirrup hoe in other places. here's a linkie for ya:<br />http://www.amazon.com/Ames-True-Temper-1866300-Dual-Action/dp/B00004S1RO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327812453&sr=8-1<br /><br />helps rip out weeds for new plots (sorry mr granny) and other areas really quickly!<br />Thanks for the info!Amy T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-72246448639701104972012-01-28T18:43:59.004-08:002012-01-28T18:43:59.004-08:00Amy T., I got plain shop light fixtures at Lowes. ...Amy T., I got plain shop light fixtures at Lowes. Make sure they have the cord to plug in. The bulbs are sold separately, and I got the cheapest T8 ones I could find. This is my third year for them. I'm not finding them on Lowe's website, I certainly didn't pay $30+ for them. I'm thinking they were more like $15 each, maybe less (plus the bulbs). If you can't find them with the cords, it's easy to wire one on....I wired one on a 2' fixture all by myself :-) <br /><br />Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and ask them for the cheapest 4' two light shop light fixture they have.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-82492238618411252292012-01-28T18:26:02.950-08:002012-01-28T18:26:02.950-08:00Happy Birthday!

I see them around but each light I've seen has been super expensive. I am in Issaquah, WA and want to do the same grow shelving set-up this year. Saw your shelf at Lowe's nearby so might just take your recommendation and go for it. But the lights?
