I also threw up my hoop covers over my nearly ready to harvest lettuce seedlings that I planted out yesterday. Didn’t check on them today but I’m hopeful. Hope yours does great too!

Laura (KitsapFG): I just know I would have not had enough room this year especially after potting up tomatoes and peppers. I actually have more room on the workbench now to spread out a bit.

Daphne: I love your setup. It must be difficult to judge everything for the first year with a new garden.

Granny: The seed starting area is in the basement (our oil tank is behind the new shelves). We keep the basement really cool during the winter. Not sure if it is as cold as your shed.

Robin: With the size of your new garden plot, I am sure you are going to need to grow more seedlings this year. Last year, I had to remove a shelf to give more room to the tomatoes and peppers when they were potted up. Things were really tight then. Hopefully, I’ll have enough space this year.

Meemsnyc: The wire shelves are really handy. The chains of the shop lights hang from the shelves above and you can adjust the shelves to any level. If I was starting from scratch instead of building onto my existing shelves, I would have picked up this unit instead: 74″H x 48″W x 18″D Steel Freestanding Shelving Unit.
It was only $70 at my Lowes. The small shelves I used were $20 each.
