Here’s a view into my “realm of the (mostly) happily growing”.
I thought I’d share with you my latest conservatory adaptation, since a growing collection demands diligence. I’m going to give you a quick tour of my most guarded room in da house. It started about 2 years ago, and from an orchidhologist perspective I can say that I have found an apartment & heaven (all at the same) on the internet.
At first it appeared a bit too empty for my liking, so I started (uncontrollably) to acquire new plants as well as bringing over the rest of my bits and bobs from the U.K. It stated to fill up gradually.
A few days ago I decided it was about time to clear up the mess I had created within a year, and so started a major “tear it all down and make it look good and practical!” kind of thing. Needless to say that what I did took 3x longer than I had hoped. But I guess it has to be done.
So… this is how it all started.
This was one of my little accidents at the beginning of last summer. The steel-cable wasn't quite as strong as they told me it would be. Nitrogen-Bomb…. I thank you kindly.
This is what my little heaven looked like until a few days ago. Getting cramped as well as messy.
Well, I’m happy to report: 30 hours of work, swearing & sweating: this is the kind of set-up: I’m happy with, for the first time in months. Putting in some work does really make a difference.
Now this is starting to look like it should, I have loads of hanging space (which I was lacking before), I’ve had a major clean-up, I have organised it all in “Bays”, so everything is neat and tidy, accessible and has its popper spot. I’ll do a bit more tidying up later, but as far as I can see: I’m happy with the outcome. Do you like it?
