Seedling update

This morning when Laurie turned on the lights, we lost another bulb (a total of three for the season). We decided to try florescents instead since the incandescents seem to be drying the soil out too quickly and are more expensive to run. I picked up some fixtures and aquarium/plant bulbs at Home Depot, rigged them up to the shelf, and lowered the shelf to get more light directly on the seedlings. Hope these last longer!

Take that - these should last!
