Alas, I cannot possibly grow these plants in either of my greenhouses. They are so jam-packed with plants, there is just no room. I do have two alternatives though.

I build a temporary, 6'x8' greenhouse in my garage just for overwintering plumeria, and there is a west-looking window that is at one end of the greenhouse. I could put a couple of plants in front of the window and keep them lightly watered. There is also the new sunroom that should be finished before fall. I could do the same thing there. The problem is that there is little or no possibility of moths getting into either structure. I would have to hand-pollinate and don't have a clue how to do that/when to do that. I wonder if those moths are around now and will do that job. I have several plants in bloom and more to come. I just don't know when the flowers are pollinated.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
