I dont have a Greenhouse, I have a Green Side of the House. I have more ideas just need to push some things around some more ya know. More racks on the back they dont need any shade cloth.

Also I need one them Japanese Rock gardens where I push rocks around until I'm happy and tired making little lines in the sand that lead to nowhere.. :bowing

That's a really nice growing space ya got there. ;)

They all look so lush and green! Very nice! Looking forward to seeing that spike's flowers!

makes my yard look like a scene from saving private ryan of orchids

I am at the mercy of all things considered forces of nature.

Its all fun for now until that 1st mean wind blows thru here and wrecks the good ship lollipop on the rocks :).

I have an escape plan too. Lots of extra crates. ...

What a glow up!

Mine too... :rofl:

The curse of our gulf coast. Those pesky windstorms ruin all the fun

Gram. Scriptum var. citrinum 'Hihimanu from Carmelas..had one spike last year and was pretty wonky. trying to prevent that this time and send it straight up to the sky!!!

I live with my foliage more than my flowers. Its become a passion also to go with getting flowers on occasion..
