Eric- I didn't know you have cats now! Charles- You mean there were no plants on the stove to photograph?

I left all plants 'in situ' to photograph. I did actually transplant some seedlings on the stove because there was no other flat space besides the floor

Wow, I am amazed how you grow your plants. I cant even begin to imagine how you accomplish what you do within the confines of a city appartment! I always envisaged a sunroom or rooftop greenhouse, not an appartment with every square inch occupied by orchids! I kind of have visions of a rambling vanilla or aristolochia in the shower. Well done.

the Vanillas got stepped on all the time so they are limited. I only use half my living room for plants and I need to install more hooks to hang more. Charles was actually surprised that the plants didn't fill the room, but if they did where would he have slept!?

So Eric, why don't you build a greenhouse on your roof? Imagine what you could do with that!!! (I'm serious.)
thanks! apartment is on land owned by greenhouses, near a few hundred acres of mum fields on former golf course; no phone lines or cable, so no internet! my cell phone isn't smart enough to do internet so may have to either buy a wireless card for my laptop or a new smartphone that makes a wifi hotspot that I can access with my computer. both mean bigger bucks but apartment is cheap. quiet, too! am checking email here in utica while getting my plants and cleaning out refrigerator, start work tomorrow morning, another 4+ hour drive back down tonight and didn't get nearly enough cleaning done so back up next sunday

I'll bet a Florian greenhouse would solve that problem.

Have you asked???
Maybe make it a co-operative greenhouse proposal?

They do plenty in the garden but unless i get a finance proposal and an licensed Engineer's study I wouldn't even begin the process.
