I will be out there everyday doing a little bit at a time I am so out of shape

Do what I did - just move it to the greenhouse!

BTW - keep that weather, I hear that you are sending it my way with *lots* of snow!

Well moving into the GH would really be the last straw for my hubby he already thinks I'm nuts

Maybe when it warms up a bit

Since I have to do all the work myself it will take me a couple of weeks that's me.

Ranchnanny, How's the GH coming along? Are you getting the cold snap we got last night. Snow and temps down to 3 tonight. I got up every hour to double check the greenhouse temp. last night. It held at 60 all night but I'm sure the heater never turned off. Betty

Sheridan, what's that white stuff on the ground? Oh, now that I look further, you can still see the ground



Nice GH, by the way. How do you plan to heat it?

Hi Ross, I know this is not alot of snow not like we used to get in upstate New York but its so dang cold.....
I plan on heating with an electric oil heater, two fans and a propane heater for backup. Its a cute GH almost square and lots of room. Just wish I could have gotten the larger one.

We were supposed to get about a foot of snow but not yet. We only get about 9 inches of percipitation per year in the form of rain, snow, hail etc.....333 days of sun per year.

Can't wait for spring.
