Yet another nice haul. You will have to put an extension on the verandah to hold them all.

No I won’t have to if you do the hit and run once you get the B double truck organised, then @Harry’s Palms can be your driver and run for the hills with happypalms personal collection. But iam currently building a new greenhouse 40 meters by 6 do I might have to buy a few back of you to fill it😉

Wow! Another greenhouse . That’s exciting. That will be a pretty big space for more plants. Mine was small in comparison , about 4 meter cubed with a gambrel roof . Mostly seedlings in bands but a few large specimens in there . I loved going in there and sitting on my plastic chair with a cup o’ tea. I could spend quite a bit of time just arranging and fussing with the plants. Harry

Yes another greenhouse iam going to link it together with a shade house tunnel with the other one in the middle with a wide walkway with steps going down the hill and bench’s on either side for the personal collection, with a pitched gable end design, full overhead irrigation. Potting bench at one end and a small propagation hothouse on the other end. It’s mapped out in the brain so no design plans just going with the landscape. All the materials have been purchased, I just have to measure and cut the metal and weld away. The site has been leveled, winter is the best time to start this project as the palms will slow down and the garden will rest up, not to hot to work. It will be fun maybe a couple months of project fun.

Well it’s only money and plants fill that space where we get an incredible value for the $ and effort. I walk out and meander around the garden , it fills me with joy . As long as the budget works , thank you @DoomsDave , it is worth every penny . I can see I’m not alone! Harry

Iam pretty straight in the no alcohol no smoking no gambling, no kids, the biggest exspense I have is the wife and we won’t go there or we will find ourselves sleeping in the doghouse so to speak. But plants are  another level of happiness bring great joy no matter  how gray the day is. Only a true gardener knows the feeling. But if you want to watch a great Australian tv programme it’s called Gardening Australia on the ABC you can google or you tube it, it’s packed with great information and top rated show.
