Our newest adventure is the installation of iGrow magnetic induction lighting for the succulent collection in the winter. From early November until March the entire greenhouse collection will be transported into the unfinished basement, where the heat from the furnace will keep them in a 60 degree F. temperature range on a 12 hour on 12 hour off lighting schedule. This is a picture of the first trial bench in August of 2014.

New Home, New Garden, New Life Back in NY

Goodbye PA and HELLO NEW YORK!

It is so good to be back in our home state!

A lot has happened to us since I last blogged here.

John retired in August - Uncle Sam started paying him in May!

We closed on our new home on September 25th and moved out of Kintnersville, PA and dead Helen's house in Liberty, NY and into our new home in Neversink on October 1, 2013! 

John built a Greenhouse in November.

Had our first Christmas with Adam and Celinda and brother John Joseph this past week. 

2014 is just ahead and we are so grateful for this past year and looking to help others and give our all. 

Our new landscape is slowly shaping up!

Elmer the rock is ringing with a necklace of hay scented fern.

The 4 raised beds are filled with vegetables, fruits and herbs.

Renee came up for a visit and helped me remove the ugly Foo Foo Poodle pine from the back entrance.  

Loving Neversink!

Week 2 - Horticulture Coordinator

It's the first full week of February and we have wind chills below zero! 

I won't be moving any plants into my office today.  We did get some books and pictures in and up on Saturday though.

So far the plants I brought up to my apartment are happily living in the windows that afford them the best light.  I have a nice wide windowsill over my kitchen sink!  It is full of little succulent treasures.

I think my Sanseveria collection would be the best genus candidate for my office.  I will look for a window box to place them in over the next few cold weeks.  Plenty of time to do some online shopping AND meet my new plant friends at their establishments in Sullivan County, NY.

Since our friend Pete did not see his shadow spring is on its way!
