Jason's Upside Down Garden 09 - 6

May 17, 2009 This video is a little long, but lots of updates as things have really started growing like crazy and I planted a few more thing. I have lots more tomatoes, my yellow squash plants have grown a ton, and I have red strawberries. We have had pretty sunny/warm weather and also a little rain these last two weeks. My one question this week is if anyone has experience growing eggplant, and if so how many eggplants does 1 plant produce? From what I've read it is around 12 fruit per plant. So if you have grown it before let me know how much yours have produced. Also forgot to mention I started using Miracle Gro Liquafeed last Sunday (1 week ago) and will be using it about every 2 weeks as instructed.

Solar power is the answer to landscape lighting that is free and earth friendly. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, outdoor solar lights use solar cells to convert sunlight to electricity, storing that electricity in batteries during the day for use at night. The department adds that outdoor solar lighting systems and solar-powered products will only perform well if they receive the manufacturer's recommended amount of daily sunlight. So as your garden lamps stand in the garden throughout the day, they receive the power they need to shine for you at night.

Products that power themselves from natural sunlight are becoming more popular and are moving beyond the basic.

The traditional solar garden lamps come in stainless steel, copper and also plastic. You will find that these lights are so easy to install. Basically, you just stick them in the ground and leave everything else up Mother Nature. Solar garden lamps usually come in sets of 2, 4 or 6, however because they are relatively inexpensive, purchasing a fair amount won't break the bank and the more you have the better the ambiance and the illumination.
