Default Flowers in the greenhouse

Just to fill some unused corners and floor space I decided to plant flowers in the greenhouse this year along with the vegetables. They not only add some beauty to the environment, but also a nice aroma. This plant is Unwin's Dwarf Dahlia, and it grew to 24" wide by 24" high in seventy days, and it is loaded with buds.

Like to saying goes: Man does not live by bread alone.

Leslie, in the years that I have been growing hydroponically in the greenhouse I have very seldom seen an insect. When I do, I dispatch them with insecticide soap. Hydroponics is a very clean environment.
