yes.. Linda...the plastic isapain... hen it gets real cold.. and the wind is high.. it doesn't stand much of a chance... you might try the boat shrinkwrap.. I've heardsome good reports from that.. My choices were a plastic house... but I've had boat workshops in plastic.. and through an ALinter it was a constant job to keep it up.. or aglass/plastic house.. which looses alot of heat ..so I thought of trying something new..in the foam.. I'm pretty impressed with it....so far.. and the heater on the lowest no freeze setting is holding the temps real well.. in the teens tonight.. and holding at 44*.. with a range today in 24 hours of 41-50 with the below 0*wind chill...
I'm thinking of crossing a brug with this succlent I have.. pictured... i does cold/snow real well.. and is always there in the spring... it's been a month of mostly below freezing every day..and it shows no sign of distress..
