I found the best way is to use a fluorescent shop light above them.

Wow, you are on the ball!
I think I am going to give in and just buy my plants from the nursery. I keep thinking about that topsy turvy thingy too. They have one now that you can put 3 plants in!
I kinda lost my little plot where I had my garden one year as we extended our deck. Last year I put my tomato and green pepper plants on each side of my hydrangea bush! lol
I have been looking at one of the pre-fab raised garden set-ups. Our neighborhood is only about 5 years old and it was woods before that. Tons of pine trees. We have our immediate backyard and then it goes further back but the soil there is so rocky, hard, solid and weed infested that a raised bed would be the smart way to go. Has anyone ever bought one of those?
