Growing indoors... for awhile

Since the freezing temps and wind have continued, we've been forced to leave the plants in the shed on a semi-permanent basis. Naturally, this led to them being sad and wilted and in need of sun... but there was no sun! So, I got a grow light. So far, so good. They seem to like it and are perking right up. In fact, I think they are doing better than when they were outside... this is probably due to the fact that even when it IS sunny outside, the balcony gets hardly any direct sun, especially the south end. I think even after the risk of freezing has passed, I will continue to put some of the plants, like the sunflowers, in the shed for periods of time to allow them to get the light they need. Here are a few pics.
