I built a light stand for my baby plants out of PVC.

It’s pretty rudimentary. 3/4″ PVC and some fittings. Didn’t even really glue it, as friction seems to be doing the job okay so far. Since I took this picture, I even hung some aluminum foil curtains from the lights to reflect more light on the plants and less into the room.

This little plant right here is going to grow up to be broccoli some day.

As a side note, the grow lights make wonderful photography lights too, as long as the camera and lights are both about 6″ or less from the subject.

These here are the onions and leeks.

I actually started the first batch on the 12th, and most of them didn’t germinate. I may have planted them too deep in the soil, or maybe the seeds are just no good, because they are left-over from last year. I put in a 2nd batch of seeds, and if those don’t start, I may chuck the whole batch and open the new batch I ordered this year.

I have also started some lettuce and carrots.
