I got a bit of planting done today, and got my potting area & indoor growing area sorted out so I'm properly ready to do more. LED grow lights are so cheap and efficient these days, it makes it feasible to raise a lot of plants indoors. I've had some herbs growing over winter, and have a couple of shelves with varying lights and a heat mat for the summer seedlings. I added a couple of fans today for air circulation and to stop too much heat building up around the lights. It can get a bit too bright because it is open shelves, so I have put a curtain around it with a forest print which cuts the light and looks quite nice. Now I just need to get the garden beds outdoors done so I have somewhere to put all the plants once they are ready.
