It's always amazing in November to see pretty much my whole garden stuffed into a greenhouse. In previous years it took 2, 8 foot gh's to hold it all but this year I got 98% of it in one.

The pictures are a progression as it was loaded .. the first 2 pictures are of the very beginning. In the 2nd picture you can see all those one gallon pots on the ground with shelf tops on top of them. Those pots are all of the elephant ears, odd gingers like the Globba and anything else that doesn't mind being cut back to the soil line. The shelf tops I found at the thrift store. I got them because there was a lip on 3 sides so I put them on top so that water would run off to the back when I watered any plants sitting on them. That way the plants below them wouldn't get water logged and rot.

It's a jungle in there! And I'm utterly thrilled to be finding anoles. I'm hoping they will establish a whole colony like they did at the old house. I have a small window box with barely moist loose soil that is perfect for egg laying.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
