    If I lived close I would be one of the first in the door of your greenhouse. I have seen your hanging baskets and they are wonderfully healthy and gorgeous.

    I'd be fighting with Toni to be first through your greenhouse door!!:sete_018: I would be filling up our car with your hanging baskets.

    I'm definitely wishing you the best of luck, though, seeing pictures of your baskets and plants, I don't think you'll need much luck. They are too pretty to be left hanging around.

    most the baskets are out of the greenhouse.

    Great-looking hangers, C.
    Your customers have some super choices. Tja--I wish that I lived near you, for I'd definitely buy a couple of those for my balcony.
    I find your foto's astounding.

    That lil froggie was a bonus. I wonder what kind it is. A spring peeper perhaps?

    Thanks S-H and Deanna. come anytime. I am closed on Sundays so that is a good day to visit.Today was a bit busy at times and then we got a huge thunderstorm... hurry and move it all under cover... hurry hurry!

    Sjoerd, I really don't know what spring peppers are.. I only hear them. this one is a tree frog.. maybe one and the same, but I don't think so. and since you asked I looked.. and no this isn't the spring pepper. Spring peppers have a distinctive X on its back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_peeper

    Perhaps that frog will keeps pests off your plants. ;-)

    And... when I think back about the froggie, I noticed while it was in the one tray of plants it had what looked like algae on it and when I noticed it in the other plants it didn't have any green on it at all. I wonder if they have some camouflage tendencies? like a chameleon. I don't think I had two frogs in there, but I wouldn't have any way to do a head count on them.. one... two.. oh wait... one.. forget it! no idea. it really looked like the bark of a tree.
