My kingdom for a greenhouse, nuff said. What with these cold nights drawing in I've moved all 100+ plants into my bedroom

Re: Windowsill tour!
Build a conservatory that has a sunny aspect Much lower humidity than a greenhouse, and cheaper to heat because it gets borrowed heat from the house.
And in chilly weather, there's no need to don thermals before visiting your plants
We put up our conservatory in 2001, for use by people... then I caught the C&S bug, and now it's full of plants!

Ever hopeful, trying to grow plants from arid sunny climates in the UK!
Lithops, Haworthia, Adromischus, other south African succulents including Ceropegia and some Crassula.

Re: Windowsill tour!
Unfortunately I've discovered that you can get some really awesome plants on eBay if you know where to look, and my collection is starting to get enourmous. Soon the PC will be moved downstairs in winter to make room
I wish I could steal my neighbours greenhouses, as far as I know all they use them for is growing tomatoes, but sadly it is not to be

Re: Windowsill tour!
You can get a greenhouse on ebay for hardly any money. I got a 6X8, with paving stones and a base for less than £100.
