Thanks Dean,

Some of them will be in the heated section of the greenhouse, and if get enough courage and buy the greenhouse from Harbor Freight, I will put all the big ones in there so they can get a lot of light. My current greenhouse is a lean-to style whose north side is the house. It actually opens into the house. So a detached greenhouse will be lit from all four walls plus the roof. I'll just need to run hydronic heat to the new one, or electric cables if I don't finish installing my boiler before the winter. Problem is right now the gas company is dragging their heels extending the gas line to my property because my house has a heat-pump.

Very nice additions, there! You must have a large greenhouse. Have you posted a photo of it?
Thanks Harvey,
And Congratulations to you, also!!!!! I don't know if you're bragging or complaining about not getting any plant gifts. For all we know, the non-plant gift you got might be a Ferrari Testarossa! I'd trade all my plants for that - without of course, "mi Señorita linda."

Our greenhouse is 12ft X 21ft X 16ft tall. It is part of the house on the Southeast corner. I haven't taken any photos of it because it is in a state of disarray from my extended absences during the FEMA disaster assignments. If you click on the "Find me on the Map" button under my avatar, and zoom in at the highest zoom, you will find my home which has a blue roof.

Thanks again.

Chong

Hi Chong, thanks. No complaints as my wife has not complained with my own purchases and we're in the mode of trying to pay off our mortgage now, so no Ferrari is on the horizon.

When did you say your next FEMA assignment is? I see where you are at and may drop by to take care of things in your absence! Just joking! LOL

Mine greenhouse is a little smaller than yours (12' x 16' x 12' high sides with 16' peak) and also thought of one of those HF greenhouses. I see they raised the price slightly to $619 when on sale (sale ended yesterday and also had a 15% coupon). I know of a few people with it and they seem pretty satisfied with it, though it's too short for big bananas.

I hope the Senorita gets more widely distributed soon as I'd like to try it, though I really would like Benny to get one before me since it means much more to him.

Best wishes for success!
