Title: what should i grow?
Post by: peacelovecacti on April 04, 2018, 12:05:43 AM

HI guys, so im already starting a few diff strains of Trich as well as some Williamsi (soon). Im building a greenhouse so climate really wont be an issue. I want to grow something thats not too difficult. I heard Acacia Acuminata was good for this. What are yalls thoughts? Also cacti and acacia/mimosa as well as some caap vine is gonna be my vein in gardening. Any other plants in this genre yall could recommend? Thanks in advance!

  First things first,  What climate are you in ? ?

 Greenhouses are great, but can be a pain to maintain,   Climate appropriate perennials should be your bread and butter for basic simplicity, its also alot eazyer to bear the loss of a 3.95$ seed grown plant than some fancy tropical  .

 Im just south of you in usda7,

  The zone separations are not the most accurate as every year is different espically if you live near large water body's

I have a small greenhouse myself,  but Im not ever going to attempt to heat it,   To expensive hear in S NY, and one mistake and everything is dead anyway.  I just use it as a season extender.
