Backyard Oasis Texas Zone 8

First photo. This pot has aloe striata, Euphorbia, trichocereus plus a beautiful tomato and 20' long watermelon vine just starting to fruit.

I'm so grateful how well things grow in my greenhouse. It was 33° this morning with wind howling. I step inside my greenhouse and it's sheer bliss. Well, blissful 50°

For me having a space to indulge my botanical desires is almost priceless. I'm a tad bit ashamed of myself for not doing this in my 20s.

If you are considering a greenhouse please hear this, you're worth it. It brings me immense peace daily! We have had a garden and tons of plants around the patio and pool for 30 years but I've learned so much growing things in the greenhouse.

The educational aspect has been a blast! Of course, I'm a nerd. I'm not a professional, not trying to make a million bucks just out here geekin' out on plants as much as my heart desires.

Happy New Year to all. Grow something.
