    Default My Grow Area - Part 1 - 5'x7' Terrace

    It's a lovely Sunday morning here in Atlanta, and my plants spent the night outside in the cool humidity - I put them anywhere I could find room. They share space with my husband's bonsai trees, but not much. Before I bring in the heat-despisers, I thought I'd do a rough panorama of my outside grow area. It's extremely small, but I love it.

    I am indeed fortunate to have such a good growing area; I have lived in enough cold dark places not to feel deep gratitude every day.

    Thank you - I still think it needs a potting bench and greenhouse to be perfectly satisfying, but I don't think my apartment complex would take it too well if I undertook my own expansion plans - so I continue with as much ingenuity as possible (with much input from forum members, I should say).

    Maura, that's so lovely. I'll bet you really enjoy your mornings with all that beauty - at least until you have to start bringing everything in for the day! Thanks for sharing a little beauty with us.
