We are in the process of putting up a bigger greenhouse and I think I will have extra room in the ponds and I was thinking......It is begining to get cold for you Northerners,if you have plants that are tropical, I would be willing to overwinter them in the greenhouse and send them back in the spring if I can keep any babies they have over the winter. I also want to try some of the floating plants in there if you are just throwing them out. I don't know if I will be able to get them to stay alive, but had 100% success with the lilies last year.
Pond plants
If you would be interested in some of the common floaters (water hyacinths, lettuces, frogbit, etc.), I would be happy to share.
Boy are you generous with your space!! I've always heard that your gh is "never" big enough. You are a lucky girl -wish I could strech mine. I asked dh last week about enlarging mine, he just laughed at me.
Badseed, I would love to have some of the floaters. Are you going to try to overwinter some of them yourself? I have heard that they can be hard to overwinter, but I want to try anyway.
Azalea, Last year I had a 12x12. This year I have talked DH into a 30'x50'! with a 16'x18' pond in the middle of it!
I am really excited about getting one this size. I am sure that it will soon be out grown, but because I was only planning on asking for a 20'x20', it looks like I will have extra room.......don't worry though, I am sure I can fill it up all by my self, just might take me another year, LOL.
Toadlily thanks for the Intro,I was trying to remember where your town is in Texas, I know have been through it but am blank at the moment.I was raised in Ft Worth. How far from there? You say your DH is from Weatherford. Where bouts? Seem like everyone knows everybody here and I've only been here four years.I Would love to see your GH Sounds like Paradise.Heck How bout Bed & Breakfast At Toads?
