No wonder you grow your plants under the stove

Tony, I think what you need is something like this:

By having the shelving on wheels you can move the shelving closer together -- no center aisle -- and if you need to do something you then just wheel out the shelf you need. This is much how libraries archive books but for plants:

P.S. Sadly, Heather, I have no practical advice for you. Your best bet is to commit to a life of take-out and sit-in dining and forgo a kitchen.

Time for a slippertalk auction!

I actually think it would be fun to have an auction, just for fun, again sometime….I’ve sort of missed it…but we would have to do it at a time when I’m less busy at work…or maybe when I am not at this job…trying to find a new one as this one is not working with my Fibromyalgia very well….

Those line the sides of the growspace and they too are stuffed. The center is lit by halides so that spike height is not a concern.

Aw, I'm sorry.

Things have changed significantly since November…now I have a bunch of led lights in here too…winter was gloomy and I have a lot of things that look like they could be sheaths coming so…will update with the overflow room soon…

 

[Morja]

Love your setup! Have you had to rearrange after getting lights involved?

 

[jtrmd]

I am glad I only have a handful of my favorites. Once it becomes work, it loses the fun

 

[jtrmd]

I am so glad that I am almost no longer an addict.

losing the power in that greenhouse was probably the best thing that happened to me. I went from well over 1000 plants to 20.

Not really! Not yet anyway…

 

[Heather]

Here’s some stuff getting ready to bloom.
Phrag. Stairway to Heaven, my Mexipedium, and a couple Neos…

 

[Justin]

Eric is your couch under there?

 

[NYEric]

Eric is your couch under there?

Yes.

 

[cnycharles]

Yes.

I think I sat on part of that couch once years ago!

When I see pictures like this I always ask myself: do you water over the floor or how does it work?

Ugh, sorry to hear. That's rough. Healthy body and mind comes first. The plants, in moderation, help with that. Seems like you're doing a good job taming the beast.
