Here is a chinese cabbage I just picked that the seed was started in a net pot with coconut coir and planted directly in a EB.

I thought you always planted the net pot in the EB when transplanting??
Gardenglory,
I don't understand your question to Bob. Please explain. Thanks.
gardenglory, how much did you drink last night? Please ask that question again another way.
BocaBob
I thought this was talking about something new...and I thought you had already been doing that. Sorry

gardenglory, no need to apologize, I thought it was going to be about something new also. I think it is the thread title that threw ya.
Bob, is that for supper tonight?

gardenglory-you are right, I worded it wrong. I does sound like something new. Maybe I had too much last night !!!
Shoe- you bettcha
Bob
O gosh...no problem. Funny thing is...even when GG called me on it, I just kept wording it in my mind the same way. LOL...I figured I best just cut and run and that point.
Nice darn cabbage...thats for sure!
Thanks
Bob: That is a beautiful sight. I noticed when transplanting some of my tomatoes that the root systems were looking really long and the basket had been busted apart by the root system on some of my tomatoes. Right now, I've got the greenhouse zipped all the way up everywhere, as it got down to 30 degrees last night, dumby me left the screen doors in and the window screens, should have shut them, as I have probably lost my eggplant now, but I can always plant more of them, my tomatoes fared pretty well, they are strong. The temps are supposed to drop to 27 and 30 degrees tonight and tomorrow night and then Wednesday night; but after that they should pop right back up to around 42-53 degrees. Should I be concerned?

All I can add is monitor the temp in your new greenhouse. If it freezes in there, bye, bye tender plants.
put a space heater in there for the cold nights
Darkmoondreamer: What is a space heater? If it runs on electric I'm out of luck, as I don't have an electric outlet for the greenhouse yet; working on that. The plants seemed to have taken the low temp last night pretty well, considering the fact that I had the windows and doors open. They are closed now and will hope for the best, the only plants looking a little dreary are the cucumbers and eggplants, the tomatoes look like they got through it just fine.

I think it's been mentioned before, boiling water in buckets, milk jugs etc helps if it isn't a huge green house. And for my plants...I think I'd run an extension cord!
We have been very lucky as I have the frost fabric as well as a small backyard with a higher wood fence which provides us with a micro climate of sorts. We are always a few degree's different than the posted temps and between that and the cloth so far very little damage. I just push the EB's as close as I can to the brick of the house then cover.
Got the GFCI replaced today. Whew, thought he'd never show up, did a good job, my outlet in the master was out too. That is the reason the one outside didn't work in the first place, the guy worked for an electric company before, so I am sure it's done right.
