Beginner Gardening: Tell Me Again Why I Do This???, 1 by ButterflyChaser

The temperature is supposed to get below freezing suddenly tonight. We've had such great temps, until now. Down to 24 tonite! Just yesterday it was in the 70s!

I have an atrium that is not enclosed. I have most of my tropicals planted in the ground there. And today I had to hustle to wrap the atrium in plastic with winds about 30 mph and it's only about 45 or 50 degrees. It feels much colder with the wind. And of course the wind isn't helping me get this atrium wrapped.

So as I'm working, I keep saying, What fool would do this??? Why do I even bother with tropicals?? This is a LOT of work!

And of course, you know about this time next year, I'll be doing it all over again. LOL

What crazy rituals do you have that make you question your own sanity from time to time?
