Where to Plant My Garden?

Is it a bad idea to plant a vegetable garden by a security light? Will it affect the flowering?


Answer:

Hi J.

You can try planting a small garden to see what happens. Some plant flowering may be adversely affected by bright night lights.

So it depends on how bright the light is, how close it is to the garden. Is it a motion activated light, or is it on all night? A motion activated security light should not be a problem unless it is on most of the time.

Ideally your garden should be located away from night lighting for best results for all of your growing vegetables.
