@ninnymary , I cannot find the tabletop setup that I have with a gro light, T-5, but this isn't too expensive. I figure that space is more important to you than anything, and this one is adjustable:

I gave one to DD and I keep mine on top of my fridge with a heat lamp. Right now I have a purchased basil under it and I plan to grow tropical herbs up there this winter, like the basil and rosemary,

What style of boots do you prefer for garden work Phaedra?

I tried different styles from Muck and like this one the most - practical for all seasons.

Those are so pretty!

There are like 30 different veggies and herb designs you can choose from!

Where did you buy them?

My amazing husband whom I ADORE got me these over the years:
1. A grow tent for the garage so I can grow stuff even in the winter! I've used it every year, and love it.
2. Shelving units for the grow tent. Before them they were set on the ground and didn't maximize space
3. Lights. Lots and lots of lights!!

Can't wait to see what this year is.

Where did you buy them?

I bought them at Fedco Seeds a couple years back. They are homemade!

there is little in the way of stuff that i need (i just replaced my pillows and a few blankets i'm good) so i tell people (if they ask, so far nobody does ) that i need garden helpers, minions, slaves, sweat equity... i don't think i'm selling it right... maybe biodiversity coordinator and executive trainee will work better?

Wished I lived closer. I'm free labor! haha

How many trays can you put under it? I may need a 2 tier one.

mee too! mee too!

except i just happened to have finished up a few thousand square feet of weeding - not too much left now 2 gardens and one of them is mostly done already from before so i just need to do a quick scrape and remove a few weeds and that one will be done. the other is about 100 square feet and it doesn't need much done to it at all. those two gardens and getting some ashes spread and i'm done for the season.
