Plant bar in the apartment

Here’s one unexpected benefit of sun lamps: They help plants grow remarkably fast!

Pictured here is a potato plant, growing on a bookshelf in the apartment, with germinating broccoli, alfalfa and radish seeds in a bag.

Once the community greenhouse opens in the summer, I’ll have vegetables ready to install. (And, thus, after three months of planning, will save $2.99 by eating a home-grown potato.)
