Grow lights to begin the garden makes for nice results

During the spring and summer my dad spends HOURS in the garden doing everything from the planting to weeding to tilling the ground to make it loose for planting. He even gets fertilizer from the farm to make things grow better. Sometimes he’ll just sit out there in his little sanctuary. All month long my mom has bought various plants and seeds for him to get his itch going. I think some that she’s got are watermelon, corn, potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, lettuce, other kinds of squash, peppers.. god knows what else. He’s a nut when it comes to them and often we have tons of stuff at the end of the season we can’t even eat because the quantity is so large. I’ve heard that in greenhouses they use high pressure sodium lights to make things grow faster but I think even if my dad had the option he’d stick with his method of using natural sunlight and all that good stuff. Why take away his enjoyment you know? Granted he plants at work for weeks since they’re doing all the corn right now but whatever floats his boat.
