I discovered in the early 80's when I was living in the mountains that I must have that "sad" thing going, too. That is when I discovered gro lights in every room in the house. Even though I am now on the coast i couldn't make it through the sun less days without them.

I love this thread and wanted to say that Phughes on DG gave me a baby seedling of cork screw vine she had grown back in May. I have it in a giant pot with a trellis and it has already out grown the trellis and is going on top of the storage shed (LOL). She thinks i can just put a blanket around and on the pot as we only have a couple of freezing nights.

I spend the day cleaning up the front screened in porch to make room for the big plants still outside. They won't need to come in unless I hear we might have a freeze (which is not anytime soon).

I still need about 15 more places for hanging baskets. Gotta get on that ladder with the molly bolts,
screws and a drill soon.

I wish I had not covered the screen with such thick poly...and so soon..
