I moved the whole grow operation today. Okay - it was only moved about 4 feet to the right. I added the top half of the utility shelf, which would have blocked the picture hanging on the wall. Definitely better to move the shelf! :) Anyway, in order to add the top half of the shelf I had to remove the plants and light fixture. The whole reason for this was to make more use of the long cords from which the light fixture hangs. It is better now, but I still need to find a way to keep the metal wires from the light fixture from rubbing on the shelves.
I also finally transplanted my root-bound herbs. I do think they will eventually take to the new pots as the pepper plants did after they became root-bound. I don't think the peat-pods are the best way to start the herbs, so I planted new seeds along side each of the transplants.
Finally, I placed my space heater next the shelf to add a little heat to the operation.

Looks good! Our gardens look very similar now...even down to the masking-tape herb labels! Funny that both of us have a small-medium-large range of pepper plants...although yours is especially dramatic!
