I don't normally complain

Well, I have some possible solutions for you!
1) Move to California
2) Plants could all come in the house, if need be, before you take step #1
3)Didn't you have many of these plants in the basement before you get the GH? See #2, then #1.

4) Go skiing & F'it all!
You can buy more, later.

You're welcome

 

Bad here, too. Temperature outside's been hovering at 38.8°F for the last couple hours. On top of that, my Step Mom can't make it down from the Willamette Valley and... she was gonna bring me a fruitcake.:bang:

I hope you don't have any damage, Jon.

 

I can't imagine how you snow bunnies manage the heating bills and extra work to winterize the g.h. every year.

 

Bunny talk. Everywhere I go
Hope everything works out ok Jon

 

That is freakin' cold Good luck Jon and hope everything fairs well for you!

You know....the older I get the less I can handle the winters here in PA. My wife and I have been talking about moving South and that time is coming soon

 

Tom, two words for you...
San Diego!
(I'm looking there too!)

Jonno, I don't even KNOW what those temperatures mean!

 

One word, Tom. Bandon. Best kept weather secret in the country. And there aren't 4 bajillion people per square mile, either.

 

Good luck Jon. I get the shits when we get a pissy little frost and -3c!!

 

That is WAY cold...I hope your heating holds up, Jon.

 

That is nutball.

 

That is way too cold for Angs. Please send me yours for safekeeping as soon as it warms up a bit. I'll send them back to you ...later. TIA

 

45F in the valley's this morning, 40F @ 2600' (work), winter has arrived finally and with a BANG.
-20F WOW that is F'n COLD brrr brrr

I ran over a skunk this morning to top it off, so see it can be WORSE. my car STINKS BAD !!!

 

Argh, Jon, that is coooold. I saw on the morning news that Denver set a record for the coldest day since 1901. I think I heard them say -40F? Jeezus, that's insane. I hope your plants are ok.

 

Brandon or San Diego.....hmmmmm very tempting indeed

Actually I think we want to stay on the east coast, but it would all depend on the job I can get

 

Hang in there Jon. Hope the electricity doesn't go out. I can just picture you out there with an ice pick trying to get in through the greenhouse door so you can put the propane heater in the greenhouse.

 

Man, I hope you don't lose all of those buds. The temps you mentioned are reedikulus.
Be sure to bundle up good when you go to make that snow angel.

 

Even here in Costa Rica we are experiencing very low temperatures to the upper 40 F ... which for me here is a near freezer feeling. Anyway, from all predictions and indictions for the future weather, we should expect this to be the norm and adapt accordingly. I have noticed that the orchids have also departed from their flowering and growing schedules and it is a sort of crap-shoot now in the GH. Some orchids will definitely not survive and others will flourish.

 

Good luck Jon. That sounds just aweful. You might wanna try a solar pool cover over the top of your greenhouse. Mine kept stuff warm even when 3 twin wall panels were off the top and 5 were off the sides. Course it wasn't that cold here, or I'd move to the equator or somethin', but your twin wall is still up.
