Steven's blog: Gardening in the City: Under Lights

<p>The last few months I have really been enjoying gardening indoors, many of the problems of gardening outside simply go away..........and I like that! Gardening under lights also makes the most of my space since I live on a small urban lot.</p>
<p>Here's a few of my plants that I grow under lights....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mini Sinningia 'Glory Be', this ones growing in a 3oz cup!</p>

<p>Streptocarpus 'Texas Hot Chilli', the red on this one is really something!</p>

<p>African Violet 'Mac's Pizza Pizzacato', the little crinkled leaves are a nice feature!</p>

<p>Last one for tonight is Oxalis 'Velvet Sunset', this one goes outside for the summer but its grows really well under lights the rest of the year, the colour is a real deep orange when it's inside.</p>
