Here is my "glorified" potting shed. It is a small fiberglass green house 8x16 and amazing what I can put out of that little thing.

And more of my "jurassic" phlox. I do not know why but those phlox are doing pretty well here. They were never that big at the old home farm and we are on poor soil here. I just let them do their thing. They reseed readily and are marvelous for the butterflies and hummers.

In our back acreage we have a private nature preserve where we have some pretty unusual native plants there and a pretty unique ecosystem. We have been cataloging the vegatation and have listed close to 250 savanah plants that are native here. That in itself has been a huge undertaking trying to learn who is who out there. We have also a bog and are very populated at times with many kinds of frogs much to our pleasure!
We can tell when the ecosystem is working right and when it is off balance much by the frogs.
