I think that sounds like an admirable trait.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting Mac.<br /><br />Denise, yes I suppose it is an operation. A couple more lights in the basement and another heater in the shade pavilion greenhouse and I fear we might set of some alarms with our energy use (as in the authorities will think we are harboring an operation of another sort).<br /><br />Kimberly, I like your description, an "indoor nursery" it certainly feels like that at times.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-51477121938050419492010-12-16T08:30:49.398-08:002010-12-16T08:30:49.398-08:00Impressive indoor nursery!

It doesn't look like an obsession gone wild to me, but I've been called a botanical enabler a few times already...<br /><br />Cool mahonias. So is 'Soft Caress' actually a soft plant? The mahonia I put into my parents' garden was a rigid, pokey thing that they weren't in love with.lostlandscape (James)http://soenyun.com/Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-60535709145172043922010-12-15T21:02:37.535-08:002010-12-15T21:02:37.535-08:00gardenwalkgardentalk, why no water plants?

Even if that one eventually kicks the bucket (and I hope it won't) I'll buy another next year...it bloomed all summer and has such great leaves.<br /><br />Hoover Boo, it's just the husband and I and he's very tolerant. He just doesn't like the hauling of the big heavy plants downstairs.<br /><br />Grace, you should get a M. m. 'Charity' don't you think?<br /><br />RFG, OMG!!! That is one of my biggest spelling weaknesses...I have so many actually. Thanks for tactfully pointing that out. As a kid sweet and sweat always messed me up too, not a good couple of words to confuse.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-33025199444839591232010-12-15T20:23:12.666-08:002010-12-15T20:23:12.666-08:00What a great setup Danger Garden!
