    Is it Tillandsia, which a type of Bromeliad. I have some that look quite similar to the one that person is holding in the picture.

    I recognize the name Tillandsia. That sounds right. I am never good with names.

    That is me holding it.

    But there is also other names. It gets terribly confusing for me.

    Good thing my people know what they are doing.

    Maybe you could get a heated greenhouse (even a small one?), then you could garden year round. I grow as much veggies and stuff as I can, but am limited on growing space. Nothing quite like eating things that you grew yourself.

    I think itis most certainly something I am going to look into, dd3. As of now I feel like there may not be enough room in my parent's backyard, but certainly when I find my own place. Ill figure it out, hehe

    I don't think you're lame. I'm dying for a gaddamn kitchen.

    When I lived in Australia, I grew all my own veg, even grew my own tobacco. The tobacco tasted like shit, but I smoked it proudly.

    i've got a little garden for my home made trains to run arround in. my landlord has a kind of mini-orchard. he always gives us plenty from it too. right now, in addition to a whole ton of lemons i still need to juce and freeze, we've got a bunch of grapefruits too. he always gives us tomatoes when they come in. he grows those too. along with grapes, cherrys, peaches, olali berries, i forget what else, i think that's about it.

    i've always had some kind of garden wherever i was where i could.

    if we ever get a place of our own, and i'm still able to even sit up by then, i definately plan on building some sort of solar greenhouse for year round growing.

    I checked with my people.

    You are indeed correct.

    It is a Tillandsia bulbosa.

    You are sharp!:)

    Short of a greenhouse, the most we can hope for here in the northeast is to extend the growing season by the use of a cold-frame [​IMG]

    The Pagans probably did something similar which has yet to be unearthed.

    If Georgia actually gets rain I will plant a garden. I want to have a few berries along with other fruits and vegetables. I just need to find a way to keep the deer and rabbits out.
