    Here is Funnylady's thread about her double HFGH 10x12:
    Two HFGH 10x12 Greenhouses Joined Together

    Did Santa bring you a second HFGH as an early gift? Thought he might be delivering early in your neck of the woods to avoid the snow... ;-)

    Thanks Sherri your the best! We are buying another. Can you belive I filled it to the brim in one year. LOL Now I have a brug addiction. We put in the other shelves on the other side and now have no room for bigger plants. Didnt think about how big plants get. hehehe So nice to see you. How are the cactus's doing? Barb

    Lol, those silly plants keep growing, don't they. My benches and shelves are full, and so is the floor...only room for one person to walk in there. My only solution right now is to only add new plants that stay very small for years. So, no Brugs for me, although they are lovely!

    Hope you will keep us posted on your progress!

    Hi Barb, I still love my 2 GH together. Still want the 3rd one but no room. Now have 80 orchids hanging from the roof and they are starting to bloom like crazy, they like where they are I guess. If you have any questions just e-mail me or want more pictures. I have a ton of them but can't get them to post on website. Have no problem with e-mailing them.
    Good luck you will love all the extra room. But it doesn't take long to get it all filled up the way you did the first one.
    I also have alot of brugmansia, about 12 of then right now. I don't know where I'm going to find room to start all my seeds come Feb. But I have a couple of ideas in mind. More shelves above the benches.

    Hi Carol,

    I just love your GH! Wow 80 orchids I cant imagine the work involved. I am having a hard time keeping up with the gh. I started a new job and have a three hour drive daily. Leave when its dark and come home in the dark. LOL I told the fiance we defianetly need some light in there. All I have to work with is a 60 watter. I keep tripping over the brug I have growing. Thank goodness I am chopping her up this weekend. She is finally done blooming. It is funny how we come up with new ideas fro more space. Remember last year the GW member who had shelves with a pulley system. How ingenious. We might have to do that. LOL I will most likely get in touch with you when we go to do it in spring. My dining room is now the brug room. Smile

    Funny Lady, I was scrolling through the forum and saw your post about not having enough room. Us orchid lovers always seem to have that problem. Anyway, if you have some minitures or small 3 inch pots taking up bench space, here is an idea that was presented at our last orchid society meeting. Get some rain gutters and fit them to the sides of the gh a foot or so higher than the top bench. You can leave a slight angle so the water can drain off, but it will hold lots of plants and you can drain the water off at the end using a garden hose attached to the end of the gutter. Just a thought. What kinds of orchids are you growing? I have a lot of catts in bud right now and my phrags are in full bloom. Betty
