Q.How To Keep Small Vegetable Plants Safe If Planting Is Delayed

Zone Oradell | djinnj added on May 18, 2020 | Answered

With the corona virus “lockdown” getting everything I needed done by the time my vegetable plants get to me (fortunately my supplier is late for the same reason). So I’m a little late getting my raised beds ready in time. How can I protect my plants so that there in the best growing condition possible while I get everything I need done. I’m in northern New Jersey and the last frost date is usually around 5/15. Normally I would have planted by now.

Indoor, horticultural lighting.

This will be the biggest challenge that you face- Having enough light.

For ease of use and reliability I recommend the Ceremamic Metal Halide. They come in a 315 watt bulb and will light anything in a 4x4 square.

Of course, there are many other options under the sun, but this one happens to replicate the sun pretty well.
