Dear John,

Your plants will need two types of light for optimal growth and flowering. Red for blooms and blue for growth. To mimic that of natural sunlight when/if your sunroom goes "gloomy", to replicate, use "grow lights" (or fluorescent bulbs). A small space heater will aide as well if the area becomes cool, considering artificial lights ... See Moreproduce little heat. Tropicals will need 70°-80° F daytime and hardier plants will need a 65°-75° F range and about 5°-10° cooler at night. Investing in a thermometer to monitor the temperature might be a good idea, too. Also remember air circulation is important to keep plants free of disease.

As far as the cucumbers are concerned, it would be best advised to contact your county's cooperative extension. They can give you specifics when it'd be best to plant, which plant varieties grow best in your area, etc.

Kathy - We're delighted to hear of your success with use of the EarthBox! Have you posted a yummy salsa/sauce recipe on our forum yet? Would LOVE if you could share any photos of your progress as well. Be sure to send either-or by E-mail to photos@earthbox.com for a chance at winning a gift certificate in our monthly drawing.

Many, many thanks! (Hoping Snow Miser will hold off a little while longer yet for your tomatoes.)

I have posted my roasted green tomato salsa on the forum. I tweaked it to use up these green tomatoes (not enough sunlight to ripen). However, the technique works well with tomatillos and red tomatoes, too.
