Good evening everyone!!!

I have a couple photos to share, but they are not necessarily gessies.

First, is a grow-light set-up that I built (all by myself) from scratch, last year... so that I could have some sort of lights for my plants. At that time, I lived in an apt that had northern exposure only. :o( Talk about seasonal affective disorder!!! This year, they informed us that they were renovating ALL apts in our complex, so we had to move out of ours, into one of the new ones... and we got an all southern exposure! Woo-hooo!!!

Anyway... I used craft lumber and wood screws for the whole thing, and one of Wal-Mart's 4ft shopights. The whole thing is adjustable, up and down. It works!

The only problem... I got into gessies this year, and EVERYTHING needs grow-lights! As you can see, I'm already full up! Gotta get me one of those Wal-Mart shelves now! You ENABLERS!!!!

Here's the frame with lights...
