I have to definitely go buy a bigger cfl. Does it have to be a big cfl or would multiple small ones work? Say using 5-6 100 watt equivalent ones to cover a larger area.

The neighbor and I have a hedgerow separating our property. I was thinking I would plant pole beans along it and let them take it. Any problems with this? What other veggies would do good on the hedgerow.

Tomatos seem to ripen in a brown bag ok. Fried green tomatos are awesome too.
