That looks so nice. Do you grow anything on your arbor in summer? I bet that works so well. How will you get sun into your old garage?

I have a hoophouse we put up usually in October though this year not till December. And we take it down in March. I have a small oil heater in it for night. My husband figured out how to make it very tall in years past to accommodate my big brug trees but this year I left them all outside. If they die, oh well. I consider them more of a weed than I have in years past. I do have lots of smaller ones that are special ones that I hope to see flower at least once but I have only moved a few of those in. I really should bring more in there. I did move in lots of hibiscus. It takes too long for them to recover in spring from a cold winter.

I also grow begonias and dragged in about half of my collection. If I get a cold snap you will hear me crying all the way in Texas. I just am so lazy this year.
