By the time I married Joe, it was just a little thought still in the back of my mind....I knew it just wasn't something to take on at our age.Balishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823703470631008618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-84165550853426177292014-03-10T19:29:28.721-07:002014-03-10T19:29:28.721-07:00As I was growing up, there was a green house in th...As I was growing up, there was a green house in the neighborhood. I went there with my mom a few times and always found it so interesting. Among the many plants there, the one I liked most was the huge jade plant they had there. It must have been decades old. I was sad to see the green house torn down just a few years ago.<br /><br />Wardian cases are lovely. Through the years, I have had many different terrariums. They are a lot of fun. <br /><br />My mom had a fairly large cold frame for many years. It was on the south side of the house and was made of wood on the sides, and glass windows on the top. They lifted up for access. I hadn't thought about mom's cold frame in years. For some reason, I can't remember what she grew in it. It seems like she may have started a lot of plants in it. Thanks for rattling my memory bank. I will have to ask my dad what mom used to grow in the cold frame. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-54662810470689552582014-03-10T17:44:14.620-07:002014-03-10T17:44:14.620-07:00I agree with everything you said.

AND, I love terrariums and have been thinking of putting one together. At least Maggie the Cat couldn't eat the plants. :-)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-2869392701903976082014-03-10T16:51:42.048-07:002014-03-10T16:51:42.048-07:00Just this weekend, we noticed a neighbor has a cou...Just this weekend, we noticed a neighbor has a couple of small greenhouses in his back area. We visited an orchid greenhouse one day, too and it was very pretty.

You and I would have taken such care in maintaining one. It's something that you and I both would have enjoyed. I have few regrets...this is one of them.<br />BalishaBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823703470631008618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432737661978032207.post-56862284993403944702014-03-10T12:24:14.238-07:002014-03-10T12:24:14.238-07:00Balisha, we continue to be similar in so many ways...Balisha, we continue to be similar in so many ways.<br />Always a greenhouse<br />I desired.<br />Years ago they had torn down one at the local Walmart<br />and I checked into purchasing, having it moved and someone put it back together.<br />So many thoughts arised of the care<br />and never went forward :)One Woman's Journey - a journal being written from Woodhaven - her cottage in the woods.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12548226150115102345noreply@blogger.com
