Re: My GreenHouse Build.
This one has decided to grow vertical. It appeared to start going horizontal but changed direction..

It's Extremely Hot and Very Sunny . Additional protection went up on the south side of the deck. Euphorbia were getting burnt left and right.

Re: My GreenHouse Build.
These 2 Opuntia Pad cutting had just started to root when they were badly sunburned. I let the sunburns heal for a month and then cut out as much as I could to see if they could be saved. They appear to be saved.

Re: My GreenHouse Build.
Last week I came across 5 pots of San Pedro's at my local Home Depot and then I found 4 more pots on Tuesday at Lowes. I now have San Pedro's in the collection. Actually there were 20 pots at Lowes. I just don't have the room for that many new plants

Re: My GreenHouse Build.
How about some Browningia Hertlingiana? I found 3 on sale at Lowes last week and found these 5 on Monday at another Lowes.. Its the end of the season and Altmans Nursery is hiding the gems in the loads again.

She does and does not... She loves the flowers and discovering new growth but that is where it ends.

Re: My GreenHouse Build.
Maybe she'd like to sow seeds and watch them grow?

Hi Jerry
BTW your donations are still growing. They have survived the heat so far.

Very impressive and well organized!
Are you sure that there are only two plants in a house? They tend to sneak in when nobody’s watching![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
