We've been away from here for the past month. Seems like the whole country has been on a warm binge. Made me forget we had moved up to zone 8b.

Well, we may actually be getting back to winter, instead of this "false spring". I have been tweaking this thing for the past month. It's been hot and definately the inside got hot. I set it up to roll up 2 panels of plastic only halfway. I only have one door opening now, the one on the east side. I tucked the door plastic open. The plants actually have done quite well in there. They think it's summer!!!!! I went up to that castor bean tree yesterday and discovered it is towering over me now. I think I better cut those blooms off before they go to seed though.

Scooter, you were talking about free house heat. On the warmer days, I cannot open those windows because it lets the heat into the house. But on a day like today, I just turned the heat off and opened the windows into the greenhouse and it is warming things in the house nicely. But I need to get that lawnmower out of there. It stinks.

Here's what's growing in there today.
