Two questions from a rank beginner
I'd think something like a 2x4 frame bench/greenhouse that you could put
plastic around- if the temp is getting too cold around you could tape up Styrofoam sheets that would come down when the cold snap leaves. At least some of the orchids could stay outside and you just bring in your warm lovers. Store the stro walls with your hurricane lumber I cant get more orchids than my plant corner can hold. My husband thinks my 40 is too much already although small and mostly free. Bewildering- I could bring home 10 flats of annuals that die -no problem "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message thlink.net... Diane, Actually, in the late fall and winter months, when the plants need it the most, we do get a good diurnal range. The Phals love it. As for the occasional frost (never really a freeze around here), it's rare, but did happen last winter. Hoping for better this time. My back can't take moving all those plants around (I have a Den. discolor that's taller than my husband, and he's 6'3", so you can imagine what it weighs), and you're right about the dining room table. And the floor. And the coffee table in the living room. And around the roman tub in the master bath. And under the windows in the family room. Etc! All of which is why we're looking at a way to provide some warmth outside this year, if we need to. Probably a combination of water and light or propane heater. Diana |
