I have two although the other is smaller. There's nasty price to keeping them, they have the worst thorns in the world! As you can see I've been avoiding them like the plague! :-)

Oh heck, I thought I deleted this post.

This plant came from my Grandmother's home on Boone Mountain. It was brought here from Scotland by her Mother or Grandmother. I didn't know to ask her more details and she died when I was 13. She had an arbor with Red, White and Pink roses.

The intricacy of this flower is unbelievable!

This is a wonderful flower that I received from a friend in Falls Creek quite a few years ago. It reseeds itself and puts on a repeated show of bright pink flower heads. I do nothing for them and they just grow and grow. I will have these at the BUDS Summer Plant sale.

This is probably a lot more than you really want to know about Black Spot on Roses, but it's complete! :-) http://plant-disease.ippc.orst.edu/disease.cfm?RecordID=981

Foxglove is a Biennial so it grows leaves and roots one year then produces flowers and seeds the next year. Then it dies. It reseeds itself, so if you plant a flowering plant two years in a row and they successfully reseed, you'll have flowers for years to come.

We're going to have the electrician wire it so it's grounded. I have a hose and an electric cord strung out there now and I keep wondering how long till I forget to pull the cord out and give it a shot of water! I'm having a water faucet installed in there too because I'm getting way too old for this! If hubby thinks it will keep me happily employed and out of his hair for the next ten years or so, he'll do it! :-)

What seems to have stopped the pepper munchers or did it just happen on its own?

Please be aware that Moth Balls can be very toxic and may contaminate your food crops. We used to shove a box of them down Groundhog holes till I read about using them where there are wells, food crops and children. Maybe they would work put into butter tubs with holes in the top and buried?

Some people on here have had good success with something called Liquid Fence. It might be worth a try.

How tall were they?
-
The lower one looks like it may be an undeveloped seed head from onion or garlic?
-
Here's the picture of what I have. It looks littler in the picture for some reason or maybe the woman is tall.

For Harbor Freight in Altoona go to the mall that has the Toy store and pet store. Harbor Freight is the store in the left corner. Take a truck because even the small one will not fit in any sort of a car.

I think the one at Lowes only comes with one shelf? Did I miss seeing more? The one from Harbor Freight does not have shelves but I think they have some you can buy. I got 2x2s, small L brackets and a roll of vinyl coated 2x4 wire and made them solid around the greenhouse. I think there are twelve total, deep enough to set a flat length wise on them when there are a lot of plants. 54 flats in all and more if I get inventive. If I didi it again I would just run them along the sides and not the back. I don't think much space would be lost.

I'm going to start a new thread so this is easier to find. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=47712 Yes, that is the one I have (6x8 ) from Harbor Freight. It's a beast to lug to wherever you want to assemble it, and then there's the directions which are not complete. However, they did e-mail me photos of the places where the directions left off. We drilled over 300 holes and bolted it together on a section of the deck that we built a couple of years ago specifically for the purpose of me having a little greenhouse some day. We are also going to add a sunroom to the basement for heat for the house and so I have a place for the indoor plants over the winter. The one from Lowes doesn't have roof windows to open when the heat gets too high. The one from Harbor Freight is much nicer. Friends gave us a remote digital thermometer from Radio Shack so I have it recording the temperature in the greenhouse. Right now I have the windows and door open to let the air flow through but this spring when it got cold at night and I put the electric heater out there, it made it so much easier to regulate. I could check it in the kitchen and then go out and raise or lower the temp. We made a base of pressure treated 2x4s for it but you could just level it on open ground if you were right on the mark. Otherwise I would pour a concrete apron to rest the sides on, or even a floor. We are going to add two levels of 2x4s under this one in the fall so it will be higher. With all of the base bolted together it will be heavy enough that I don't think anything other than a bona fide tornado will move it.

That's how the new Franklin Street Bathtub bed and the long mound beside it got planted. Last year was the first year we had an excess of money and we wanted to get rid of most of it. We don't like to let money accumulate in the tresury because it belongs to the community, I bought tons of plants from the Lowes sale racks, dragged them to my deck, then was in bed with the Shingles for 6 weeks, then it was getting so late that we had to do a dump and plant just to get them into the ground before the weather got too bad. This spring we were so amazed because it's gorgeous!

You may still have time to delete it and post it in the right topic. We'll still help anyone who gets one. I love mine. Hubby asked me if I want to get the bigger one the other day and I asked if he had a fever! :-)
