All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

We're having some trees removed soon (they're dying and leaning towards our house) so today I spent some time carefully relocating some volunteer lowbush blueberry plants from where the heavy machinery will be working.
What's growing on with you all?
The Long Dark Wet is coming, and I'm setting up in indoor grow zone for the winter. I can't wait to experiment! I'll be attempting to keep a couple peppers alive, as well as a dill, some citrus, a lemongrass,and a few other things. Some of these would be fine being dormant in our basement, but that's no fun!
Very cool! Are you relying on your lights and ambient heat for temperature maintenance, or are you supplementing the heat?
I'll have a small ambient heater in there, controlled by my home automation system! They are LED lights, so not much heat there. Our house sits around 50-60F usually, so I'm spending a bit of time making sure the insulation is good.
I'm not going to lie, I'm jealous of the home automation control and your average inside temps! I've got a small grow closet and have the shutoff thermostat in the lowest level of shelving, but am not allowed to have it below 68F because of the newborn and a wife who is always cold 😂
