First Greenhouse

I have for years pushed the limits of whatever growing space I was utilizing. For the longest time that meant windows crowded with plants, rows of plant-lights in various locations of my hale - whatever house or apartment I called home, plant shelves brimming with plants and so forth. As a bachelor, that was all well and fine - but as a married man, all that began to change immediately. Gradually, my collections began to coalesce into less conspicuous locations - the plant shelves disappeared, as did the plant-lights haphazardly placed in any open space. With our current house, I now get an east-facing picture window and a south-facing closet of an office. Needless to say, the picture window is almost always crowded - sometimes a point of irritation for my better half, and my office is even now still full of pots of various plants, vines and… dirt.

Folks, it was time for me to grow up and move out - it was time for a greenhouse.
