Enough about me. From your username it looks like you are growing hydroponically (or am I barking up the wrong tree?) If you are growing hydroponically your hydroponic kit might have a heater, which would mean that you can start your plants off 3-4 weeks earlier than normal and keep them going longer at the end of the season so whilst you won't be growing throughout winter necessarily you could extend the season significantly. While a whole range of grow lights may be too expensive a propagator light might be worthwhile. It depends how far north you are and the quality of natural light you get.
No dear, My name suggests wrong. I do not us hydroponic systems at all. My friend uses them and let me tell you that you got it as similar to him. Because he does exactly what you told me to do but unfortunately i do not have that luxury therefore i just retreated from my idea as it was a bit too expensive for a gardener like me.
