My sentiments too, Thank you all for the information that you have shared with me and all the others. I love reading this forum and I have learned so much. When I need to know something, I look here first! You guys are all awesome. A special thanks to "Fruitnut" too, I have enjoyed all the beautiful pics that you have displayed especially these last ones of your greenhouse! So Merry Christmas to all and a very happy new year in the garden, greenhouse, orchard, farm area, etc! LOL.

Merry Christmas, all, and a very happy, healthy New Year! I got part of my Christmas present from my husband a few days early, and I am going to make a new post to show you all, as it was all succulents! (...not a greenhouse, however...). Kate

Last Christmas, I made everyone handmade gifts. Never again! Well, at least to my in-laws. The gifts just were not appreciated! At the very least, they could have lied to me and told me what wonderful gifts they were and thanked me for the time that went into them!! I really envy families that do a handmade Christmas exchange!!!

Many thanks for your reply Paul! We are allowed to water the garden four times a week for an hour each with the hand held hose only. I only water twice a week at night, and save what I can from the kitchen to tip in the garden also. I have made one garden area a save my garden plot as I tend to be a bit of a collector. I have been planting the plants in some of my pots in this garden that I would like to survive, and then concentrate on soaking this garden when I am allowed. So far its working and most plants have survived. I have also mulched this area fairly heavily as I have a garden shredder and alot of palms. I am hoping it will rain soon as it is cyclone season now, and would just love to turn my irrigation back on as I am sick of holding the hose. Happy Christmas and thanks again for your advice.
