My windowsill gardens

[gardengirl13]

OK I went to the local garden show. Nothing fancy, but it's still a great reminder spring is coming soon! I really wanted to buy a few million bells, but not really thinking I didn't want to have to keep it in the house for the next 3-4 months. Not realizing that I could harden them off in more like 2 months. Oh well. If we go back I'll pick them up!

Well here is the link. Check it out if you want! Once I go to the NYBG I'll be posting another link for that as well. Just fair warning from the NY show it'll be SUPER photo heavy!!!

Thanks for the trip, I'm waiting for our garden show in April, all the flowers made me want to dig in the dirt, love the orchids too

Have you been to the Berkshire Botanical Gardens? I love going there! We go about 3 times a year.

I hate to say it but no I've never been, guess I'll have to make a trip to see it this spring

[gardengirl13]

They don't really have greenhouses or anything to go through, it's all outside, but it is fun. And I assume maybe only 30 minutes or so from you? It's outside of Stockbridge.

I've seen the signs for it on the way to the Red Lion inn, its just about 45 min if I don't stop at any garden centers on the way and stay on the high way LOL

Yeah it's about 5 minutes past the Inn. I didn't think Springfield was that much farther? From our house it's about an hour, a little longer depending on traffic. Just go past the Inn and that crazy corner of 102 and 7, and you'll head west towards West Stockbridge on 102, it's about a mile or so I think. And while you're there check out Naumkeag. They have really cool gardens too!

Thanks, I now have two places to check out come spring

Your blue purple dendrobium looks just like my dendrobium Genting.
It is a small plant with cute blue flowers. Mine look healthy but it didn't bloom last season. no idea what' going on but I'm sticking to it as I find its flowers so nice!

Your pink mini phal with white lip is something I bought a few times at a grocery store last summer. I have no idea what happened to them. lol

You use the pebble tray.
I always say to myself that I will try that, but never got to do it yet.
maybe this summer. I read some comments about humidity try not being effective, but I think it's gotta be better than nothing in my cooking hot apartment in the summer time. lol

Some old pictures from my old place and some from this past year in the new place.
