I'm the fool who thinks he's going to grow large Italian Marconi peppers along the central coast of California, a scant 150 meters from the Pacific Ocean.
We're not a Mediterranean climate to say the least, and I'm running out of growing season each year because it takes far too long to get peppers like these to sprout and start in the foggy micro climate of coastal Cali.
So, we headed indoors to do another thing in gardening I said I'd never do: seed and start vegetable plants INDOORS. The session provided robust seedlings and fast growth, the two things I needed most.
I was aware that a key element of any indoor grow area is a well placed pan to catch spills, splashes and leaves from getting all over your grow space.
I was able to quickly locate Greenhouse Megastore online and found Maxi's pan to be affordable, capable and totally perfect for my needs, with a wealth of sizes for any home indoor grow.
Maxi's pan fit like a glove in the space I'm using, with a well-built outer edge that is not too short, and not too tall. I also like the way I can easily slide my seeder and starter trays on the super-smooth tray surface. I can also write notations on that same surface with a grease pencil.
This has been my first experience with Maxi and Greenhouse Megastore and I'm already planning another indoor space; you can bet I will be using Greenhouse and Maxi Garden again.
