I started on the upper shelf this morning. It's 12 foot long all the way across the top where it can take advantage of nice morning sun. Got it nearly ready to hang and had no screws long enough to reach thru the 2 X 4, the fence and another 2 X 4 brace on the fence for support. So I called Janet and we went to the lumber yard to pick up those and a couple more cedar boards to trim the shelf once it was up. Janet helped get the shelf up and trimmed when we got back. I nearly forgot to take a pic of it finished with no plants on it. So I took the plants I had up there back down to get the pic of it up and empty. Then put them all back up there. I moved a few in this evening before it got too dark to see to carry them in. Got a few of my hanging baskets up. I'm able to see now that this will work out great because of the height of the greenhouse. It's nearly 14 feet at it's highest so I put the longest hangy downs on that end. I was able to stand on the benchs to put up hooks to hang a few. No head bumps on pots while on the ground even tho some dangle down pretty far. Altho ...a few roots on the split leaf philodendron that forced their way out the coconut liner are dangling way down, some four feet long! So it's like a jungle in there even with the few I have already. LOL I'll move the rest in tomorrow when I have daylight to see um.

Oh! AND we got tunes in there now too. :)
