Cleaning out the Greenhouse

After my trip to Singapore and Taiwan in most of May, it was time to come home to the real world and get back to the garden.

It's early June and the Greenhouse has gotten completely overgrown. Ideally it would have been best to move things out of the greenhouse in early May to avoid over crowding. Taller plants and leaves will shade shorter plants, which can lead to weak branches due to lower plants trying to reach for the light. It causes legginess and a droopy plant.

It's also good to acclimate them before putting them into full sun to avoid sun burns, which did happen to a few plants. The leaves formed in a greenhouse won't have the same qualities as a leaf that develops in full sun. They trend to be larger but more delicate.

Well after moving the plants, my 1 gallons that were up potted before I left for vacation had some casualties. Some of which included some rare ones like Black Madeira, Golden Riverside, Dolce Calderai, and about a dozen others.

Sigh... Vacations and baby figs do not mix.

Here are where my new 1 gallons live. It get's morning sun and afternoon sun. The middle of the day it's shaded but a few large pine trees. Which is great to keep them from baking in the mid day sun.
