Comments (10)Thanks for all the nice comments, guys. This greenhouse was a long time coming, and I'm thrilled to finally have it up and running. The floor is gravel right now, BTW. I may put something like pavers on top of it later ... and I might not. Craig's List has sites in Atlanta, Athens, Auburn, Brunswick, Columbus, etc., in Georgia. Pick one or two sites that are closest to you, and I bet you'll find users near by who are posting items that you can use. None of the materials I collected were right here in Fredericksburg. I have driven as far as 3 hours to get an item that I wanted -- the antique store doors that I'll use on my workshop building, for example. Most of the action on CL in my area is toward DC and Maryland .. which can be as far as 2 hours away (the skylights were in eastern Md.) I know it's still early in the season, but things are humming along fairly well. The only glitch so far was when the temps got down into the teens on Monday night -- my water line froze solid .. even with the heat tape on it. Fortunately roses can take the cold, so no harm was done ... except for a broken hose fitting. Now I have to make time to get DH out there with me so we can install the pool cover on the beams over head, to lower the ceiling and keep in a little more heat. I can see that hanging out here will help with my winter blues. I love seeing what everyone else is doing in their greenhouses, while everything outside is frozen.

Comments (17)Right now (and for the forseeable future!) lust is what I'll have to do. I've got what I consider a decent start at a tropical(esque) collection, but have to put it away for the winter. Eventually a greenhouse will let me enjoy my collection yearround. The self-imposed challenge that I will have to meet is doing what you have done. Not only have you assembled a fantastic collection of plants, you've created a realistic environment (habitat?) with width and depth and height! You may be restricted to a footprint of 1730 sq ft, but I think you've done a fantastic job using the SPACE. To me, that's what makes it so cool. Oh, and I know exactly what you mean about hurricanes!!! Keep your fingers crossed, we're almost out of the 2006 season....See MoreSome pics from the greenhouse and yard
Comments (15)Brenda I am trying to root you another one from Miz Scarlett as well. The one I had for you was fine til spring and I should have sent it to you then. I am wondering if spider mites killed it. It just up and died and the bigger plants that were near it had spider mites but I didn't see them until it was too late. Maybe that combined with taking it out shocked it. I lost several things around the same time that had lived all winter. If nothing else I'll keep rooting some extras to make sure that one doesn't get lost. She is me and Johns favorite. Only having 1 or two blooms at a time on most of mine except one little white one. It stays short but has a pretty form. It had a whole little flush a month or so ago and smells like citrus. Getting spider mites in the greenhouse now. I hate to move them out they are so happy in there but getting crowded in there. One side has shade cloth and that side is going gangbusters. The other side they are getting sunburned and the stressed ones are getting all sorts of critters on them. Will have to at least move them and spray then get the shade cloth up on that side and will leave my favorites in there. They like the humidity and and amount of filtered shade. I think its a little cooler in there with fan on as well. It was so pretty outside today and so cool but I couldn't do anything because the fibromyalgia is in high gear right now. I feel about 90 years old, lol. Cut grass at church and at the house then dance with my daughter and husband Saturday night at a graduation party and been paying for it ever since, lol. Hope I can do something out there tomorrow....See MoreMarisha
