Our plants want out!!!
« on: April 13, 2007, 10:48:50 PM »
We had spring and summer temps in March then April brought a return of winter.  It wasn't as cold as the two 27degree mornings we were told we'd have last week but the one 29 degree morning did melt all that was uncovered at the acreage.   I usually have the greenhouse emptied a week ago and have another frosty morning ahead for Sunday.    Anyone have any global warming they would care  to fax me???   ;D

We did manage to divide and pot a good number of plants last month but when the cold came back they wouldn’t fit back in any of the greenhouses at the acreage or at home so a couple of hasty puddings were in order.  I only had three days after the pipe was delivered to remain my DW’s hero.  Whew, I made it heaters, included.

No global warming here, and no greenhouse either. I have a large dining room table mostly covered in tropicals, and stuff stuck in every room of the house that really wants to go outside. But still too cold...

I like your PVC buildings a lot. Too cold and windy to work for me here probably.

There is to be a drop in temps here tomorrow. My lotus and the new plants are still covered from the last cold spell.

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Only 3 acres Jerry, but as heavily as we like to plant, it's more than we'll ever conquer.  Hopefully DW and I will build a home on it some day, but for now our home is three miles away.  We just use the 93 year old farm house as a shop and for storage.

I know what you mean about the plants wanting out.  I have a small greenhouse and the plants have taken over.  I really have to duck and side step to get around.  I'm not complaining at all about that, I just want warm weather AGAIN.
