I'm making grow lights easy to understand and use

Ohhhmygossshh... I'm watching the weather forecast for the coming week and it's supposed to be in the high 60s to low 70s in Central Oregon‼️ (And let's not talk about the heat dome happening in the southwest. 🥵) This time last year, it was actually still winter. We had a big snowstorm on my daughter's birthday, and I wouldn't start seeds indoors for another three weeks. But this year, the abnormal weather is making me rethink my timing for seeds. I've begun to organize all my trays and pots and will probably start tomatoes and peppers under my grow lights this week. (The earliest I've ever started them here in Bend!) Grow lights can sometimes feel like an intimidating topic when you fall down the rabbit hole of lux and lumens and PAR. But unless you're a commercial grower, you can get by with simple LED lights that don't have to cost a small fortune. The right lights will provide the quality of light your seedlings need to grow stout and strong. Don't overspend on fancy grow lights. (But don't settle for old-school fluorescent shop lights either.) Seasonal TipsP.S. Looking for the right grow lights for your indoor seed starting setup? Here's a simple guide to choosing and using inexpensive LED lights. P.P.S. Ready to grow a thriving vegetable garden WITHOUT all the digging, watering and weeding?
