I have decided to have some gardens growing through the Summer. I will set up one greens tote. I will also have two Bounties going. I am going to rotate in Pac Choi plants. On the Bounties, one will have mini cukes, the other cherry tomatoes. I have ordered this LED light for the tote. I need a piece of board or plastic 16" x 32" to go underneath. I plan to start 2 new plants a week. I will grow 10 plants total. The timing I'm not sure of, but I do want to rotate them. They will all sit on the cart the 4 Bounties are on now. |

I am so glad that you are planning to continue your gardens through the summer, mike. And the light looks like a good choice.

Neat! I'd be interested to hear how the new LED turns out.

I have to do some re-arranging of my Dining Room. Table and two of the chairs are going down to my storage room. A 2' x 4' Folding table will go against the wall next to the bookcase. If they fit, I may start using the bookcase for the old Bounties later.
The tote will have Black Summer Pac Choi (Green) and Asian Rosie Pac Choi (Red) growing. They are both from David's Seeds. They are both 40-day Pac Choi. On the other side of the table, I will have Park Seed Baby Cucumbers growing.

Me too. I've never grown cucumbers successfully. The one time I tried, I brought in bugs in some soil I was growing chives in. It grossed me out so much I shut down my gardens until Winter. Yuck.

I just ordered two new trellis' for the newer Bounties. I'll stack them maybe 3 high if that will fit.

The trellis posts fit securely, and the "hoop" is big enough to maneuver over growing plants if you forget to install it (or an extra level) at the ideal time.  |

Wow. I saw they were out of stock at AG. So I ordered them from Amazon. I got them in 1 day. Pretty close to 22 hours.
I like it!

I just took apart a newer Bounty. It's not fun. I want to get it ready for the Baby Hybrid Cucumbers.
