Blinkin' heck Phil, that's cold!! Your fuel bill will be HUGE. Do you
bubble wrap the greenhouse at all ?


No, up here we are used to these sort of temperatures in the winter - it's
just that this year it has come very early. Light is out biggest problem
with much lower light levels than down south until March. As I take the
majority of my chrysanth cuttings in early February, I need as much light as
I can get at this time of year.
