    Excellent looking plants Rick!! I see some buds in there! Great job!! Do you have your plants in a green house, or it's like a cold frame?

    Thank you. Lots of enjoyment here.
    Mark, it would be a cold frame structure raised off the ground by 3 1/2' with mesh floor. I have a greenhouse (unheated) also, but trees close by are starting to block some of the light. Can't take them down.
    This mini greenhouse is on south east side of house and gets sun all day long. Like to have roof on, because then I control when and with what they get watered with. I keep quite a few on both decks also.

    Rick, wow.....looking good, looking good.
    Nice greenhouse....do you still have room in your GH? Can I keep some of my plants in your GH?
    Your seedlings will keep you busy.....

    Rick! lol I don't know what to say. I wish you were my neighbour! Hell, I wish all of you were my neighbours. Oggling each other's plants will be much easier

    I don't have room in my greenhouse Marie, but if I did I would snaffle some of yours in a heart beat. These things are crazy. I keep saying no, but somehow I keep starting more. What can I say. Crazy, He!.
    I wish it where easier for me to send plants to many of my friends here on GW from here (Canada).
    Many moons ago a friend gave us so many plants or cuttings and now the sharing and giving is my time to give back. This is the part of gardening that makes it so special to me.
    You are all very special to me.
    Thanks, Rick

    Rick,
    Wonderful collection, as others have said, so clean and healthy. Interesting to see you have some outdoors. As you are in Canada you must be on a similar latitude to me, 53 degrees north, but you have warmer summers I think. They are obviously responding to the care you give.
    Regards,
    Brian UK.
