Transitions and the Growing Greens Challenge – S1E4
In this episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, I discuss the following topics:
1) Transitions – It has been a quiet two week period on Small Scale Life Blog since Episode 3 of the Small Scale Life Podcast. Part of the problem has been the transition from moving Small Scale Gardening to Small Scale Life. This transition affected me a bit more than I thought, but the end is in sight! Facebook has been a bit slow due to rules in place for pages, but I will be completing the last transition during Valentines Day Weekend by changing the Small Scale Gardening Facebook page to the Small Scale Life Facebook page. UPDATE: I made the change on Valentines Day 2016.

The Small Scale Gardening Facebook Page is now Small Scale Life Facebook Page.- 2/14/16
2) Growing Greens Challenge – I am kicking off the Growing Green Challenge this weekend. For this challenge, I am going to grow enough greens (lettuce, spinach, kale, etc.) in my basement to effectively knock those items off our grocery list. I am setting up and planting the first round of greens on Valentines Day weekend, so I will have more about that coming up. In the meantime, I have been testing lights and bin configuration on shelving units in the cold basement. Here is what they look like on Valentines Day 2016.
