Things that make me happy.

17 years ago

These are the things that make me happy, hubby and puppy love, the greenhouse coming along, Karyn's little cuttings she sent me that remind me of seamonkeys and my brugs.

    That is Mountain Magic. Blooms were longer than the whole little six inch plant, lol. It had 6 but some fell off, lol. John was very proud of that one. We are going fishing in the morning so he can get his butt outfished again so we can come home early enough to work on the greenhouse some more. We will be off New Years Eve and Day and I hope to get it mostly done by then other than the hardi board to close up the gaps between the windows and at the bottom. Will do that the next weekend I hope. Have to run my wiring and John is putting a sink in there to soak and clean pots and a water hose that rolls up and a mist system. Then will work on some tables. Can anyone show me some pics of how they have their greenhouses set up to maximize space for growing seeds and cuttings and large plants and still have room to walk? Lol.

    Can you see Lucy lou under Johns arm? She is as big as BB already. You should be able to click on the pics to enlarge.

    A hot tub would look great in the greenhouse. Your greenhouse looks to be about 12 X 30. It is awesome. Determination will get you everywhere. LOL


    You only have one life to love.

    I am so glad you are doing what makes you happy.

    Kristy, Love the pic with John and all that puppy love!
    Is that the smallest size of a brug you have ever seen bloom? That is amazing! Are those cuttings shrimp plants? They are cute! Your GH is really shaping up nicely! You all have done a great job and I know you will get a lot of use out of it! I don't think I ever took pics of the inside of my GH. I am sure others will be able to give you great advice.
    Enjoy!

    Kristy the Subject line is beautiful. So are you and the pictures. Love your little blooming brug. Love the greenhouse even more. Amazing what you 2 can do. Now that you are getting the hang of it...how about coming over after you are done with yours and work on one for me? That is all I want for Christmas hahahahahahah

    It looks absolutely wonderful.

    Don't know if you can tell much by picture. this is a GH shelf is 4 ft off the floor with another small shelf on top. There's plenty of room under for more plants.

    I also have a couple of small metal shelf on each side of the window and a work table at the end. I also have some that I was going to put on the wall above the windows. I may redo it with another GH shelf this spring. But it works for me. My GH is 10x10 not near as big as your.

    Kristy... glad to see you have all the important things on your "things that make me happy" list. John looks happy, as well! That greenhouse is looking great. I always find it amazing to see a brug blooming so big, at such a small size!

    Kristy, you've got the right spirit! With Lucy Lou's jaw opened like that, it looks like she is complaining (jealous) that BB is there, LOL! Your GH is looking fantastic; you guys are doing such a wonderful job. Isn't it cold outside while you work on the GH? I'm assuming your orange 'seamonkeys' is Aeschynanthus speciosus; mine is on a hanging basket outside and I am amazed I haven't killed it! I bought it years ago at a UCLA Botantical Garden sale. MM is so beautiful; I hope my cuttings from Marian will bloom this coming season.

    Thanks you all. Its going to be a wonderful new year. A hot tub would be high up there on my happy list, lol. I never knew the name of the plant from Karyn. It was in a mixed batch of clippings and bloomed very fast. The brug is the smallest rooted one I have seen bloom. It actually tried to bloom several times but the dogs kept knocking it over where it was. The only smaller one was a cutting I was rooting that bloomed but the bud was already on there when it was cut I guess. The greenhouse is about 12 x24. It looks huge until I imagine all my plants in there then it starts shrinking fast. I am going to use the garage still and the greenhouse. Smirk. BB and Lucy fight over John attention all the time. Lucy bites her on the neck if she is getting too much of it, lol. Well gonna go do some fishing with hubby and make him happy. Its only something I like when its warm, lol. Yes we have frozen our butts off working on the greenhouse but have had some nice days to work as well other than the high wind. I'll be glad when more of its closed in so we can have a wind block to work in, lol. Thanks for the pics dimples. Gives me an idea.
