Here I am again doing a DIY
and hunting through
Steve's scrap wood :)
I looked on Amazon for grow lights
to start seedlings.
I could purchase two lights
for $19.99
or
one light on a stand
for $42.29
able to squirt enough paint
out of that same bottle
that I painted the cabinet with
to paint this stand :)
🌱🌱🌱🍅🌱🌱🌱
Well, my thrifty decision
was to purchase two lights
and build a stand
that holds both lights
instead of purchasing
one that holds one light
for twice the price.
Now all I have to do
is go to town and buy
some soil to fill
my starter pots.
Seeds I already have.
🌱🌱🌱🍅🌱🌱🌱
It's suppose to get down to
9 degrees the next three days.
Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . .
that's stay inside weather :)
🌱🌱🌱🍅🌱🌱🌱
Can't believe I'm thinking
about spring planting
when it's this cold outside.
Stay warm dear friends,
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
Ha! I'm the first to comment! You are just on a DIY roll! That is such a great idea! I don't have room for anything like that unfortunately.. but your idea is just awesome Connie! I'm sure not thinking of flowers yet.. though do have on my "to do" list to go outside and clean out all my flower pots and garden space! One of these days when we have some 50 degree weather I'll do it. (Smiles)........ you are so lucky to have that saw and the hold driller. I found out that the neighbors here have a workshop area by the community bldg. and he said I could come use his tools, and he'd make room for my two saws.. one is a smaller table saw and one is a scroll saw. Maybe I'll do that when it gets warmer. I do love working with wood. Just haven't done it for a long time! You go girl!!! Marilyn
ReplyDeleteI have sold and given a way many of Steve's tools, but not the ones that I can use. There is always something needing repaired or a project like this one that I can do myself and save money.
DeleteLook at you! You're doing great!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for Spring. I think your plans for planting are perfect for Spring fever.
Yes, by the 1st of March or maybe a little before I want to have my peppers and tomatoes started. Plants were $4 each around here last year and I can get plants enough to keep and some to give away with a pack of $2 seeds.
DeleteI know I'm a penny pincher.
Look at you! I'm amazed at your ingenuity and skill. Those stands are perfect for your grow lights and the paint stretching is funny! You are thrifty. I'm jealous of all of your cupboards. You have so much storage area.
ReplyDeleteWe're supposed to be below zero at night for several nights at the end of the week with snow forecast. We really haven't had any snow in almost a year so it's needed but I'd rather not have it. :-) Rain instead would be good for the farmers.
Have a lovely Tuesday Connie.
Blessings,
Betsy
Thanks for stopping by and visiting. We haven't had hardly any snow either and I'm with you I'd rather it warmed up and we got a lot of rain. The little time that I was outside today going back and forth from the shop and the fact that the shop isn't heated the tips of my fingers were so cold. Maybe it's my age but my hands were actually in pain because of the cold. They were fine when I came in and got warmed up.
DeleteIt's cold here, too, but I bought seeds recently. Spring will come sooner than we think. Love your DIY for holding the grow lights.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it sure saved me some money.
