Aren't the cicadas a cool prehistoric creature? Fascinating...

It is a greenhouse of sorts, homemade and small. We built it from cattle panels, plastic and tie wraps. It looks big but... I have a screened back porch, in winter I put plexi panels on the screen and move plants in there and still have a pile on the front porch (less tender ones) that I cover with sheets on frosty nights. I will probably lose 'bigtime' if we get some serious cold... Today, I am picking up new plastic for the gh, it is shedding the old like snakeskin. I hope to get some shadecloth for next summer to save it. You know I left plants in it this summer. The temp reached 110 +. Stapelia plants bloomed like mad all summer long in there... Unreal!
