"They are Natureline Gourds.I bought them at a local Wild Bird Center but they are also available online at bestnest.com and other places including amazon. I started with 4 and added as the years went on and my colony grew. I have 16 now. If you have…"
Diane Poston replied to William Brooks Zone 7/OK's discussion Greenhouse Floors in the group Hobby Greenhouses"it was Aug 2009, issue 88. I just have a portion of the roof covered so that plants that do not like direct sun have 50% shade. I have the shade cloth installed on the inside of the greenhouse because of the wind here also."
Diane Poston replied to William Brooks Zone 7/OK's discussion Greenhouse Floors in the group Hobby Greenhouses"I live in Dallas and believe it or not, it is only 21 right now and got down below 20 last night! I have a King 240 pic-a-watt heater in my greenhouse and it does great. I've had it for over 5 years now and keep it at a toasty 50 degrees for my…"
Diane Poston replied to William Brooks Zone 7/OK's discussion Greenhouse Floors in the group Hobby Greenhouses"I first tamped down all the soil to make a very stable base, then placed two 2x3's (i think) parallel about 2 1/2 feet apart down the middle to map out the walking area. I filled the two outer areas with pea gravel and then the center area with…"

Diane Poston left a comment for Susie"yes, definitely contain it.....I have seen it grow in a large pot,but not sure if it would outgrow the pot or not. the weird think about it is that it's roots go forever......I have found shoots 20 feet away from the original! But like I said,…"
Susie left a comment for Diane Poston"Thanks, now I finally have a name for the 'pink flower'! I bought one lone plant from a nursery several years ago because I loved the flower. Long story short, I was quite ill for about 4 years and didn't really tend to my garden.…"

- Thanks, now I finally have a name for the 'pink flower'! I bought one lone plant from a nursery several years ago because I loved the flower. Long story short, I was quite ill for about 4 years and didn't really tend to my garden. Needless to say, there must be several hundred popping up all over. I recently moved, but I still brought a dozen or so for my new adventure! I hope to keep them contained this time...Susie

- You did a great job on the website. The music is very good. It reminds me of my neighbor, Dian Pierce's music.....same feeling, but she plays the piano.

- Yes, I have an assortment of odd trees growing in my beds....most notably elm trees, but also redbuds, cottonwoods, wax leaf ligustrums, sycamores. I don't even have any of those trees in my yard except for the ligustrums, but I don't let them bloom. I know what you mean about being chairman of the herb society. I'm in the Colleyville Garden Club and got way too involved for a few years. I think I'm past that now.

- I guess we have another thing in common. I was an accountant also before I retired 10 years ago. I lived in Colleyville and worked in Plano (before that, downtown Dallas). When you have time, I'd love for you to visit my garden.

Unknown tropical plant
"Interesting, may be a relative, since it has never bloomed. The leaf in the pic is nearly 20" long on nearly a 3 foot stem."
