Default My NEW Shade House :)
Hi Ya All

I sa-weeeet talked my hubbie into making me 'another' Orchid house & home!! As he was soooo tired of me beggin'!! He built me a greenhouse last yr because I had our pool patio piled to the ceiling with orchids! He didn't like that! So I told him to build me a Green house, and we'll have a clean pool patio again! So I won that one!

Then my GH kept growing and growing, that I can't hardly walk in there anymore! Keeping Mr. Brown (UPS) employeed I keep on mounting my babies. And I had them hanging Everywhere in my GH. That made really difficult to walk!

So my babies crept back onto the pool patio bit by bit. Plant stand by plant stand...mount by mount. And now, the pool patio is loaded again! He can't take it anymore.... So, again I say; "Build me a little Shade house hunnie"

And Tada!!! It worked!! With some barter'n

So, here she is!!! I love it, and my babies love it!! Hope you do too

Notice, I have 2 more sheets of lattice to use He didn't like that! But he said he will built them up for me too! As I can't get my Jasmine to take off on them anyways. And the best thing, it took only about $35 to do this Hope you all Likey

I love it! Your hubby is awesome to do that for you.
It all looks so perfect. Here you have to shade your plants and I am trying to get enough sun for mine. I can't grow outdoors like that...I only have some rather short summer months....then have to worry about space again.
Have you posted pictures of your GH? I may have missed it, but would love to see some photos. Having a greenhouse filled with orchids and tropical plants so much that you can't move around in there. I call that heaven on earth.
