Amos,

My mini greenhouses have begonias, tomatoes, malvas, galliardas, hibiscus, petunias, allysum, thunbergia, snapdragons, japanese morning glories, cathedral bells, passion flower vines and sweet potato vines.

They do almost as well (a little slower) than the ones under lights in the basement.

I tend to water my plants often (thank goodness that they drain well) and I give them a spray of water (with a little touch of medicinal peroxide once in a while). I really do think that the seedlings like the occasional shower.

I have a 3 season room that I try to use for a greenhouse when the plants get larger and I run out of room. I have just started to fill it up in this picture. The remainder will have to go on the shelves that I put up in the dining room and kitchen (southern exposure). Some stay under lights on 5 shelves downstairs (lights raised ALL THE WAY up).

We actually live like this for a month or so. Friends who don't garden think I'm nuts, but OOHHH how they love the lovely things that I give them for their tiny plant beds.
