The Mrs tells me that a hoofed rodent (a deer) broke through the chicken wire we have covering the hoophouse and ate our okra, sweet potatoes, nipped the cabbage and lettuce, and generally trampled other plants.
I'm going to need to armor up the hoophouse when I have an opportunity.
All our tropical plants have been brought into the garage so they can take advantage of the warmth and lights have been hooked up. Trying to heat the greenhouse to keep tropical plants alive during those Blue Northers was getting real expensive, almost $400 in propane the year before last.
I normally throw plastic drop cloth over my plants that were still producing during real cold weather. That, and a drop light should keep the plant alive, but any leaves touching the plastic will die back. The packages of dropcloths are real inexpensive at Lowe's.
I'm not looking forward to the cold weather, OTOH, the apples and stonefruit trees should benefit from the chill.
Blue Northers..I completely forgot about those. From the way the latest possum I need to kill has been working on his digs under my house, I think it's going to be a cold winter.
