8) Well durring these cold months it sure is nice to enjoy the plants and being around them. Last night it was VERY windy bitterly cold a whopping 8 degrees out and snowing, while i was down in the grow room listening to tunes, sippin my coffee and watering plants and re-aranging AGAIN. :P Need to make more room for incomming plants, more succulents, few cacti, the new broms and crypts and making more room for babies outa the grow chamber tank, so that i can start more seed. :D As you can see in the pic that grow cart behind my chair is now emptied for the 3rd time making room for broms, the AV grow cart will have that bottom shelf cleaned off and lights rigged to use it as well. I have certain lights off at certain times of the day or night. Moved alot of the succulents to diffrent spots freeing up alot of room for more.. :P

Here we go heading in on a blustery bitterly cold winter night where i will be for a few days watering all the plants that need it.
Dont mind the mess i need to do some cleaning.. :oops: :oops:
Entering.. 8)

I still need to get wall to wall indoor/outdoor carpet for the floor and looking at drawing up plans for expanding to the room next to this one for next winter.

And thats how i enjoy my winter days and stay busy.. Cant wait to add more plants. :toothy4:

Looks like you have a little industry of it. Hope you won't need to move out of your house because of so many plants. :D
