Welcome!!!

If you stumbled among this site, "Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Gardens" is a collection of journal entries that I have kept on my computer for years, and have now decided to post. The journal contains my successes and failures with my favorite selections of plants. I'm talking about more than 50 years of caring for and living with green things. Not everything is here. More of it is learned and store in my head. However, here I will share facts about each plants, my research, as well as my personal and gathered tips on their care. I was not planning to post my houseplant and backyard journals online, so editing them for errors was not a priority to me. This being the case, perhaps, one day I will correct all the spelling and grammar errors in both of them. We would not want people to think I did not know better, when I was only being lazy. Again, no apologizes. It is what it is for now.

Evelyn's DIY T8 LED LIght Center Upgrade

 Saturday, March 21, 2026

Last night, I upgraded my DIY T8 LED light center by added two additional light tubes as pictured below. These additional lights are illuminating the shadow areas on the three grow planters. However, even without them the seeds are spouting. 

 


 

These additional light tubes can also be raised as needed.


 Although from this photo the additional lights looks a couple inches apart in height from the center lights. they are really ten inches higher.
