Greenhouse filled Posted by Fred SC on November 9, 2024, 1:57 pm Let it snow, let it frost, let it rip! I filled my greenhouse with a little bit of this and that I enjoy the greenhouse in dead of winter. https://i.ibb.co/qymCdrn/IMG-5858.jpg https://i.ibb.co/FsRjG0m/IMG-5863.jpg https://i.ibb.co/DwhP198/IMG-5864.jpg https://i.ibb.co/475G2PH/IMG-5862.jpg https://i.ibb.co/n0kGKqK/IMG-5860.jpg https://i.ibb.co/9nRNzWK/IMG-5857.jpg https://i.ibb.co/25mgHZN/IMG-5861.jpg https://i.ibb.co/3sYHg3k/IMG-5859.jpg

Eat your heart-out Lowes Posted by Rob N TN on November 9, 2024, 6:51 pm, in reply to "Greenhouse filled" Fred, your greenhouse looks better than my Lowes store Love all those beautiful plants you have. That was an awesome idea to erect it. I have a full size basement with windows and my light sockets have grow light bulbs so I guess that's why I never got one. I did water my agaves today, several are still porch sitting. Its been a great growing season but I wish I had my banana colonies cleared away. More work here but so glad your ready for whatever old man winter throws your way. I've been trying to see how winter will affect the lower 48 in anything I can see or read about and for now, beautiful South Carolina will do just fine this winter. A great time to call SC home.

Re: Greenhouse filled Posted by Alvin, z6 on November 9, 2024, 6:52 pm, in reply to "Greenhouse filled" Fred, you beat me to getting everything tender, indoors or under glass. Although I came close to a freeze, last month, I haven't had a low of 32 or below, yet. No freeze showing yet, in the long-range forecast, either, and we are headed into mid-November! I don't ever going this deep into fall, without having one. The first wet flakes of the year, usually happens, in early November. We often get a trace of snow, in October, but not this year. This entire year has been warm, and this fall has been drier, than normal. Is everything pictured there xeric? You certainly have a large collection of xerics. I have some xerics, but not alot, in this group of plants.

Re: Eat your heart-out Lowes Posted by Fred SC on November 9, 2024, 7:51 pm, in reply to "Eat your heart-out Lowes" Thanks, Rob. Yeah, I like that little greenhouse. It only cost 300 and some dollars when I got it. I thought that was a good deal. Then how much instructions with it my daughter fiancé help me put it together. I enjoy it . A lot of plants in there can’t take 30° or something, but some of them are hardy except they’re in small pots I don’t wanna leave out winter as it freezes. It probably weould kill them . I s asm hoping next spring or summer to sell some of those I’ve got a bunch more. I need to put up out there, but I’m leaving them in the ground all winter, I’ll put up in pots next spring. Yeah, I’m not cutting our bananas or nothing down there still growing like crazy. I don’t see a freezer nothing for at least the next 10 days so they’ll be good for a while. They got damage real bad during the hurricane, but they come back out. Very little hurricane damage has been cleaned up. It’s all the highways and road streets.. Most of the houses that were damaged in very subdivision have been covered with tarps and sre still covered . A few have been fixed, but there’s so much damage around . I guess people will be waiting a long time to get their houses fixed. We just got a few limbs down in the back but no trees down. We had trees down here huge old trees here in Dunwoody oaks a lot of oaks went down on Houses, cars trucks and so on.

Re: Greenhouse filled Posted by Fred SC on November 9, 2024, 7:55 pm, in reply to "Re: Greenhouse filled" Alvin, most things in greenhouse are xeric. I did put up a few volunteer impatience so I have some color of the greenhouse this winter other than that better things cactus and sequence of some kind. We’ve not had a killing frost Or freeze yet. Non-predicted least for the next 10 days. It was 81 here two days ago but like everywhere else in the 70s now but I think next week maybe they are mostly gonna be in the 60s so weather is starting to change a little bit I think. I will be glad I don’t have to mow anymore. I have some cactus in the garbage on the front porch that I leave out our winter. I’ve never had any damage or anything, I just don’t wanna cover the front porch with a bunch So the smaller ones I put in the greenhouse.
