I don't know about you but I have a terrible time remembering anything; birthdays, anniversaries, doctor appointments, you name it and I can mess it up. So, I thought that when I start a plant I better do something to avoid this problem. I write the name of the plant and the date I planted it on the marker. I also keep the seed packet so that I can refer back to it.
This Purple Beautyberry is going to stay in a pot. As it grows bigger I will transplant it into bigger pots. The reason you ask? Well, after tons and tons of research I have discovered that this plant is not only pretty but keeps away mosquitoes and other biting bugs naturally as told by Mother Earth News!
I will be keeping this in a pot to move between the front porch and pool area so that we are not chewed to bits this summer. If all goes well I will grow more and plant them permanently around the areas to be rid of bugs.
Here are a few more pictures of my greenhouse. I have wicker baskets to hold all my 'must haves' and one that keeps all my seed packets (in alphabetical order of course!) so that I can find them quickly. Along with suction cups to hold my Sun Kapp in place.
There are two vents, (one on each side) that allow air to escape when it gets too hot. One is automatic and the other I manually open myself.
I have everything from A to Z and tons of in betweens growing.
With room on the floor for larger plants.
