Hello Gary,
I agree with Rj, you might be able to have the bulbs share their space with annuals, since bulbs are "one shots" and annuals bloom for an extended season.

I sympathize with people who wish to garden, but have only limited space to do so. I have been there myself, but fortunately I now have a fraction of an acre of outdoor space and an ongoing indoor zinnia project (zinnias are a hobby of mine.) I suggest you expand your outdoor growing space with containers -- a few big pots or containers could expand on your available 15 square feet. And maybe consider an indoor growing project under lights. I use chrome steel wire shelving with 2' x 4' shelves.

It is conceivable that you could have an indoor growing space larger than your 15-square-foot outdoor space.

I am drooling over your shelving units. Are those from Home Depot? I just started cleaning out a room that I have decided to make a combination arts/crafts and grow room (not for medicinals lol). I think I saw shelves like these with the optional casters at Home Depot a while back.

Also, which lights did you buy for the shelves? Very nice set-up.

A few years ago, I grew cherry tomatoes indoors with just a Home Depot shop light with daylight bulbs on my (huge) dresser. Worked great. But, I want to set up shelves like you have this time. I'm actually hoping to try heirloom freesias from seed eventually. Hoping my freshly planted heirloom freesias will give me some seeds
