It houses my orchid collection for the cold months. Here's a little peek of one section inside. Sue gave me several Hoyas last year that are currently in bloom. The fragrance is so heady it's hard to leave the space. I inadvertently had a brain burp and ended up with a larger than planned fall garden at Maypop. I'm now running back and forth to tend veggies at Maypop and orchids in Atlanta. Elaine, I forgot to mention the Clivia that is really enjoying cooler days. Regarding the basil, cut the seed heads and dry on some newspaper or paper towels for next year. Then just lay the seed heads on the ground in spring where you want basil. Basil seed requires light to germinate so you need do nothing more. Cut bunches now for Thai basil pesto. I freeze pestos in saved takeout condiment cups. One little cup is enough for half a pound of pasta. |
