Succulent found in a Connecticut Greenhouse
Comments (5)I'd say it's Peperomia Obtusiflia, like Purple said. I'm curious what you did to this plant, haha. Not to be an accessory to anything potentially evil, but It's commonly found in the indoor gardening sections of big box stores like Lowes, Home Depot, etc. It won't be outside, usually. ;-)...See MoreConnecticut Fall Swap, can we start talking?
Comments (97)Hi, lauramg8 I'm looking for mostly shade plants. I need to fill an area between my house and driveway. It is fairly steep and shaded by my neighbor's house and a very large oak. The shrubs and bushes that are there now are not doing well. They are leggy and have fungi growing on them. Over all, they just don't look healthy. There is no ground cover so every time it rains some soil is washing down onto the driveway. The roots on a couple of the dogwoods are more visible now than a couple of years ago. I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for since I am new to gardening. I do know that I would like to plant things for the wildlife e.g. food for butterflies, bees, and birds. -Tina...See MoreHarbor Freight and other greenhouse owners in Connecticut
Comments (3)thanks Lori, I agree with you, it is hard sometimes to get people together. It is good to offer something but also I was hoping for people who have a real interest in greenhouse growing on a smaller basis. I have been researching seeds or fruit trees, figs and others to talk about and relay info. It may take time and everyone is busy but hopefully people will get together when the weather breaks.

Comments (7)Oops, I forgot I posted this. Been too busy to keep track of it. Thanks for the reminder lol I ought to try that with the onion root ends. I may try that today, though it's a bit cold out today. Ive had to bring my seedlings in at night, just because I don't have my heat source set up yet, but today when I took my seedlings out of the cover it was covered with a layer of ice. The ice is beautiful on the trees, but I'm thankful we didn't get anymore than we did!! Thursday the temperature got up to 49 F, and the greenhouse inside hit 100. I saved mostly everything, but I had to vent it very well. It seems to stay about 50-75 most days, depending on whether it's sunny or overcast. I find that it's hard to vent the other end of the greenhouse because of the aluminum foil I have for sun reflection. So I can only vent one side, which is 15 ft. Away from my seedlings. This isn't very efficient, so I made it to where I can just take my seedlings off, slide the boards all the way to the vented end, and then place the seedlings on the boards there. Works great. I wonder how the onions root ends would work in a container inside... I have some multisown spinach and peas for salads started under there in a 72 cell tray, and I had a tray of lettuce that I tried to start with paper towels, but I'm thinking I need to just resow the lettuce in the soil. The paper towel method was a bit iffy this time around. Transplanting was a pain, and I lost most of them to my greenhouse heating up too much. Maybe I'll attempt that today. I like your idea to make a slanted greenhouse similar to this. I had originally wanted to make mine slanted and constructed of a wooden frame, but wound up doing PVC pipe, because I had it and it needed used. If you make one, I'll be interested to see how it goes....See MoreUser
