I appreciated the replies to my light rack system, and it occurred to me that most have us have a few good ideas me probably never think to mention (like my plywood shelves of different heights to make it easy to keep the seedlings close the lights without having to adjust the height of the lights).
I have others. For example, I added 2 mailboxes to my garden area. One stores small hand tools, the other stores nozzles and hose connectors. Nice water-proof storage.
And I developed a system of index cards for scheduling plantings indoors and out. The divider cards count down the weeks to average last frost (-10, -9, -8 etc and then +1, +2 etc) each card in the week has instructions for 1 crop. -8 has a card for planting tomato seeds inside with depth and best temperature, another for peppers, another for leeks, etc. -4 has cards for transplanting the tomato seedlings to deeper pots, fertilizer suggestions, planting some crops outside and etc. I have a calendar marked with the week numbers next to the light rack. It all fits in a recipe card box.
I can add more details and pictures if anyone is interested...
I'll bet you all have some great ideas I would love to know about. What do you do that is a bit novel and others might not have thought of?
Let's add some...
