OOP's make that 1/2 acre..LOL

Still, a half acre greenhouse isn't too shabby!! Congrats!

I'm so happy for you. I know you have been waiting a long time for this.

Is that right? A half-acre greenhouse? You going into business? Or are all of our Texas friends going to store their plants at your place next winter? They do say that everything is bigger in Texas!!

Bob

rofl Bob...you got that right lol.

Kylie congrats of being a step closer to a dream come true. Sure would be for me. IF I knew I could heat it too lol

Lucy

LOL..Bob.. I am still waiting on the GH Fairy.. ;o)
Hoping for 80~100ft X 30"..
BUUUTTT....... we'll see.. just want to make sure there is plenty of space when the GH Fairy shows up..

Congrats on being a step closer. A word of warning. Keep it a reasonable size. Our largest GH is 200' x 75' and it requires a good bit of upkeep. We have one full time employee whose only job is taking care of the greenhouse and we barely even heat it anymore because of fuel (propane) costs and he's still busy in the winter. You already have your hands full with your farm. BTW I want to see pics of the new calves!

Congrats! You must be so excited! Oh what a great excuse to get many more plants lol. You will need it for all the nanners you got :)

I am already wishing mine was bigger, lol. It would be fine for smaller plants but I have sooo many large potted plants it would have been nice to have made it much wider. Mine is 12x24 about 24x 49 would be nice, lol. Of course it not being on flat ground doesn't help. Since it cuts down on usable flat floor space. I might end up having to close in the door on one end and put a window there instead to give me room for shelves on one end. I looked at the mini blinds at walmart tonight but the size I would need were a little more than I had to spend. Too bad it wasn't the ones they had for $3.88. They would have been perfect since it was light filtering and not room darkening ones. I'll look when I get back for something. The sheers were crazy expensive so no curtains for Lucy's home away from home, lol. Better check goodwill, lol.

Darn it. I already imagined how pretty it would have looked with curtains ...like a dollhouse lol

Lucy

Congrats on your up coming GH!!!
I know your happy!
My GH is only 10X10 needs to be bigger but I'm so glad to have one. I'm not going to complain.
Enjoy

You're going to keep it a constant 68 degrees so that you can have vulcanicola's and sanguinea's flowering year round right?

LOL Matt... If not my Vulc will be inside where it stays 68...

Kylie congrats on your gh coming up...Now dont turn into me and live at the closest flower shop in town to fill it up..Lol Did you know tiger lilies come in all different colors...Lol I know now...:)Time to plant them up...I will let you and everybody know when all their bulbs go half off...They have every single lilie begonia canna and all sorts of stuff there....Congrats I am so happy for you...Your hubby will never see ya..hahahh

Lucy

Lol Lucy! Time to get a job for me...:( I am happy now though I have everyting I wanted for the gardens this year..There is always next year too..Gardening I have learned is ever expanding..I am so glad we can grow our gardens together...I hope so much zubabay would come out and say HI to all of you too...She is a wonderful person..Her name is Kristi....Kristi come out and say Hi! I promise they wont bite....:) Barb

Barb.. Lucky you..LOL I would have to drive at least an hour to even find a shop...and then I would have no clue how to get there...LMAO.. BUT if you see something online LET ME KNOW...lololol

Congrats Kylie on your future GH! I'm sure once it's up and running, you will have it jammed packed with plants and seedlings. Think about having computer access in there as well, LOL!

Kylie you sound like me hahaha I USED to drive all over the place. Now I am afraid I get lost going trying to find Oma's gardencenter the next town over roflmao

Lucy

Lol you two would get lost for sure here...When they give directions around here they say turn left at the oak tree that got struck by lightening three years ago and when you get to the pine tree that grows sideways true right..I am serious...It really is like that....Lol I was afraid to gho anywhere when we moved here..I always take a cell phone with me...Lol

... ONLY a half acre? MY "greenhouse" is a rickety four shelved rack with a plastic canopy and wheels :P only a half acre, hahaha. if that's "only," how big CAN they be made? I guess I've never thought about it :O

but seriously, damn, the possibilities! I'd kill for a nice greenhouse, and the money to heat it :P but I'd have to be able to heat my real house before that, lol. so glad it's starting to not be so awful out - I get excited and go outside when it's 50 and sit in the sun to warm up when I'm cold.

enjoy it, and post lots of pictures! :D

Ria

Barb I know what you mean.. When I first moved to GA I was looking for the Pharmacy and the directions I got wer up the road by Aunt Sudies make a right go to the big oak tree and somwhere up on one or the other side of the you'll seeee it..WHAT!!! LMAO.. I did find it tho...

Here is a pic of the first few swipes...yay! Still have a bit to clear I was hoping he would show up today.. We flagged the rest of the area and it should take to long to clean it out..
{{gwi:469328}}

Congratulations Kylie!!!

Kylie,Very exciting! Post more pix.

Greenhouses are nice. I use mine for starting stuff. It is nice to be able to go out at night a plant a flat. It is too hot for plants now without the windows and doors open. In the winter you will be in heaven. Might shut them tonight we are going to catch the tip of the cold front and then 45 at night 70 during the day. It was 90 here today.

Get a shade cloth. It is also a good plant cooker.

Jim

How exciting Kylie! Just think, your cows won't be able to get in the GH and feast on your plants. Well, unless someone forgets to close the door, that is!

LOL El.. the area we are clearing has been used as a holding pen for the calves.. DH said we could let them in once the GH is up.."They won't bother anything" ...RIGHT!!!!!LMAO

I'm so happy for you, Kylie...feeling the excitement too!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
Margaret

Kylie roflmao...calves in the GH hahahaha your husband is a funny guy roflmao still
