Good Evening Folks I joined your fine forum the other day
and thought it was time to say hello before posting in
other places
So Hello !!!!
I am in the Northeast of the USA and just got about 44
inches of snow to make it so I do not forget it is still
winter
I have not grown Orchids since 1983 but I started
growing them back in 1977 in college and went to work
in the plant industry in 1979 first for Jones and Scully
in Miami then worked in their foliage plant nursery down
in Homestead
I got out of the plants when I went to work in the Steel
industry in Gary
at the time money made the world go round , I was young
now I work a couple days a week at a geek job and have the time
and the want to grow plants inside again
In do a lot of outside gardening but have not grown a plant inside
in many many years
In the past I grow Orchids and Bromeliads
I have no good windows here in my house so I will be growing
under lights for now and I hope to build a small greenhouse this spring
right now I have 12 one dollar Cattleya Alliance plants that I got off of ebay
under a couple of 4 foot twin tube shoplights that I use to start
all my vegetable plants going right now
I do have a couple of HID lights I bought back awhile ago with the thought of
grow some vegetables inside over the winter (greens , tomatoes, etc.)
but have not got around to it as of yet
any good reads on growing under HID lights and Orchids
well enough of the blah blah blah for now and on with the reading
all the best and a great evening
