attracting a few bugs, but not many. it is really the aphids that are getting me.
got some more lights for xmas, including some that are incandescent. the extra bit of warmth seems like it might be helping, as they are in a chilly room.
cuz it's not enough for me to work the farm all summer. gotta go year round. yeah. cuz, cuz i'm crazy, that's why.
