Greenhouse Residents

I am getting asked, "what's going in the greenhouse?" And for a while I was making lists. So here is what's going in the greenhouse:

My new eucalyptus. 

The patchouli from the patio. 

The jasmine vine.  The habanero plant, because I read that pepper plants can be cut way back and overwintered. 

Succulent bowl #1 and succulent bowl #2 from the deck. Little succulent pot from the porch. 

This geranium I've overwintered the past several years (blooming on the right), a new geranium (on the left) because I can, another succulent from the porch (front middle) and a snapdragon because I like the color. 

This lemon grass. And a second lemon grass I transplanted into the matching pot. The jalapeño plant (semi-hidden by the shelf), for the same reason as the habanero pepper plant. The ghost pepper plant I have already died from the cooler nights (it's true tropical pepper). This snapdragon because I love the colors. 

Rosemary and Lavender (transplanted from the garden). 

Cervesa and Lime, in two pots, from the mother plant on the porch steps. This plant transplants so well its ridiculous. Also a sweet autumn sedum that ended up in a pot and it fit well there. 

Rosemary from the garden that's still in a pot, and another sunset colored snapdragon. 

Succulents from the porch. This Gerber Daisy I've had for several years. Several tiny starter succulents I started recently. 

Lemon Verbena (transplanted from the garden) in the yellow pot. Another geranium in the teal pot. A succulent from the porch. And in the big teal pot - a fig tree. Hopefully this tree will live in the garden during the summer and in the greenhouse in the winter. It's a piece of the Brown Turkey Fig that never fruits because it dies back to the ground and needs a longer growing season than NJ can provide. All the leaves fell off from transplant shock (normal), but the trunk is still alive so I'm hoping it comes back. If not, at least I tried (and can try again in the spring). 

So that's the current roster in the greenhouse. I could fit more in here (there are available shelves and plenty of floor space), but I'm sure I'll add more over time (can't help myself). But I'm saving room for potting up bulbs in the spring, and this will be a great place for seedlings once they're established. And I'm still thinking about a potting bench too. So no need to overcrowd. 

What's not going in the greenhouse?

My citrus trees, because they have to go in the house. They need constant, steady temperatures in the winter, so the greenhouse would be harmful. My houseplants, because they are happy where they are. 

I'm counting on the mojito mint, peppermint, st. john's wort, dianthus and lemon balm to all come back in their respective pots in the spring if I store them against the house where it's warmer and more protected. Last winter was mild enough that the dusty millers and even a couple snapdragons survived that way. So we'll see how this winter goes, but I'm happy to have all of these plants in here.
