The growing areas MEGATHREAD!

[SlipperFan]

Thanks guys!
Surprisingly 15 years later, there's only a few changes I'd make on the next one.

hey, I'm open for suggestions as to where there'd be more room! I think I've used almost every square inch! :wink:

They don't look crowded -- lots of room. oke:

Awesome grow space, Rose!

I think it looks great Rose!! What do you do for cooling?

Fans .... there's 6, most of them are the small 6" clip on fans, which work greater as far as I'm concerned. I like the fact that they are 2 speed & it's easy to put them anywhere, my goal is just to keep the air moving, try to eliminate dead air corners. Wet down the floor a couple times a day and surprisingly the plants have faired really well this summer, boy I hope this is it for this 90 degree weather!

:evil: Don't worry; snow next week!

though I'd include a few photos of the growing space on the top of my building at school I was luckily able to use over the winter instead or plasticing in my porch again and paying ridiculous power bills for yet another winter.

Looks like a great spot Forrest. Are these all your plants in there?

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow, Forrest -- all that space, all yours! You are indeed fortunate.

Forrest I am so jealous...this at U of M ontop of the Horto blg?

Yeah that's most of my collection other than a glass display case of blooming things in the lobby with my amphibian display and a terrarium for minis and seedlings in my frog lab. Unfortunately the greenhouse is only mine in the winters, when few tomatoes are being grown for research. I have to have my plants out in early may to make room for the rapidly growing species tomatoes that the space is intended for.

I'm just getting through my hell lot of pictures on my PC sorting them out and I found those.

My summer-, and winter-growingareas:
Summer: balkony facing south

Winter: enlarged windowsill facing south

all year around: bright northwindow for most of my paphis

 

[cnycharles]

interesting! quite a lot of semi-hydro

 

[SlipperFan]

What do you do with the plants on your balcony in the Winter?

 

[Wendelin]

Hi Dot!
They move to their Winterplace "Southwindow" like I wrote above.
That place is quite empty in summer , only the Vanda stay inside.

 

[biothanasis]

Very nice set up!!!! And you have exploited most of the space!!!

Ah! I thought that window was occupied in the Summer, also.
