| Introduction | My father demonstrated some knowledge about gardening and a library of plants he fancied. Even so, my real introduction to gardening came about when I began tinkering with the fertile Virginia soil outside of my first home. Swoon! In containers I collected some of my favorite plants. I've threatened to start a vegetable garden before, but never did get around to it. My husband made the first move by preparing a space for a vegetable garden that would soon steal my heart. I fell more in love with the resident garden spiders and other beneficial insects. Each day, I ventured out to discover fresh growth, budding flowers and infant vegetables. As summer turned in to fall I found myself prematurely mourning the loss of my summer garden. I talked about greenhouses quite a bit but it was mostly just talk. Before I knew it, my husband surprised me with the means to get through those impending winter months, and a greenhouse was erected. :) Oh the possibilities, there is still so much to learn! Which brings us to why I'm here...I don't have any local gardening buddies to have my obsessive exchanges with; perhaps I'll find some! |

Has anyone ever grown preying mantids in their greenhouse? I'm afraid they won't have enough to eat, in fact I'm quite certain they'll end up eating one another.
