What is this thing called love?

Hi, My name's K Barrett and I'm an orchid addict. I should just give up
trying to control myself. I'm like Kevin Costner in the movie 'Mr Brooks'.
I have John Hurt in my head saying "Aw, go on. What's the harm? Just look at
the web page, one little, teensie, tiny look. No one says you have to
actually *buy* anything... Besides you deserve it."

I tell myself 'No! This isn't right. The credit card can't stand much more
of this.'

But I now have many, many little 2" pots winging my way. That's OK though
because I bought many, many large 6" pots at a recent GH sale. And many,
many large 10" clay pots of Nonamis (NONAMIS I TELL YOU!!!) at the society
auction

What am I thinking?! I ran out of bench space earlier in the year. I have
4-5 compots that'll need potting and I have 10 flasks of a speculative cross
I made coming too.

So if this is "Control" it ain't working.

[sigh]

Doesn't string theory apply to bench space?? C'mon!!!!! There are eleven
dimensions after all. So where's my freaking bench space!!!!!!!!!

Kathy, you certainly haven't run out of bench space, even in our measely 4
dimensions, until you've grown upward. Think of hanging your plants as a
second or third tier of benches and you've tripled your space without
building an addition! And you get to grow shade lovers without adding
shadecloth. You might have to add an extra fan for air movement but what's
that compared to all that bench space? Humidity is easier to keep up with
all those extra benches. Just think of all those Stanhopeas, Gongoras, etc
you can grow at eye level. You'll be surprised at all those little nooks and
crannys you can find in that upward dimension. Even if you use it as a
temporary relief until you can make an addition to your flat, 2n dimension.

Ah! The 3rd dimension (up) has long been overutilized, I'm afraid. There's
a tunnel 5'6" tall that burrows into the GH. Anyone taller has to crouch.

Luckily the DVOS show will be here soon and I'll sell off some divisions and
duplicates, making room for teh 2" pots.....maybe....
