Default Wisconsin Greenhouse in March

This is a photo of our northern Wisconsin Greenhouse and orchid collection from a few years ago. Since then we have moved to Maryland's Eastern Shore and have downsized to orchid husbandry on a windowsill - an interesting transition.

Beautiful orchids!

I desperately want a greenhouse, but alas I also grow in my windowsills and under lights because my back yard is too small for even the tiniest of greenhouses. In the spring through the fall, I move as many plants outside as I can, but the Dallas summer heat is too much for many of my orchids. In the winter they all come inside, which forces me to keep my collection in check (dang it!).

From what I can see in your other post, it seems that your windowsill set up is working great. Your plants appear to be very well-grown. And I like how you have the shelving set up. I might have to steal that idea and work on a similar set up.

Wow! What a change to move to the Eastern Shore.
I think another G.H is in order.

Beautiful!! What a shame to trade in a greenhouse for a windowsill! Windowsill is fun too, although sometimes a challenge to deal with limited space and often less than ideal conditions.

Grasshopper,

Steal away! Just be sure that you use heavy-duty brackets and hit the studs with 2 inch (or longer) screws. When just watered, the pots are heavy!
