Getting ready for a mild freeze Wed night, only about 31, but gunna bring in the containers to the back porch to avoid the frost. So that means this weekend I need to hang the grow light fixtures and their timer, and put up the plastic over the openings to winterize the porch. Actually, I shoulda done that today, but I wanted to play in the shop instead. Bringing the plants in is always a big deal because we have 4 containers 24” with 9 or 10ft tall plants, plus many smaller ones 12”-20” I may buy another heater to put out there with them. We added a new patio area this year, so that means a bunch more plants this time. I suspect I will have to buy another fixture and 2 more plants bulbs and put a number of them in my shop.

Still have one(my only) lemon that doesn’t want to ripen. Ghost Peppers are still covered in peppers. I brought them inside a week ago because I didn’t think they would like mid 40’s nightly.

I'd like to make my back patio into a sun porch. It faces south west, and could make a nice passive solar area for plants, and I would have another lemon tree too.

I have 4 patios, but not a single porch, and I really really love porches.

I just looked at my forecast from a Houston station that sends me that, and it's giving 34 as lows on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I'll put a new row cover I got across the strawberries just in case.

When I ordered the knee saver, there was also a row cover package in the box and I don't remember ordering that but I'm glad it's here as it is a little heavier than the row cover I already have. I'll put this new one over the strawberries.

I just got back from Walgreens across the street to pick up a bunch of refill medicines and as a rejection/rebellion of the fact I have to take all those pills, I bought a box of Queen Anne chocolate covered cherries. I think the cherries will fix what's wrong more than the pills. :o)

Ditto for the Hill Country, Tuesday & Wednesday Night. Worked on my "gonna be a Texas Prepper's greenhouse" today. I still need to skin it, but my 9 foot tall tomatoes, are outside of it, and loaded with tomatoes. I am going to check Thrift Shops around here on Tuesday for a King Size blanket for them..Or maybe I should just buy a planket???

If I don't get the greenhouse skinned, so I can put a light in it, I will be looking for blankets to clothespin on the outside of it..

I used to hang blankets over the tomato cages, or boiled wool coats, and hang a trouble light in the middle tomato cage..but that was before I had 9 foot tall tomato plants. My daughter has used Christmas String lights around plants to keep them from freezing in her garden, but I haven't tried that.

Time to quit Lollygagging.
