Its always good to have a place to move your gardening indoors. Yours looks good! I can use my back porch except in January/February and July/August.

Your husband; Send him to St Louis for the day to pick something up and schedule a plumber come over and fix things!

I’ve been trying to find a reputable plumber. When I find one, I don’t give 2 hoots or a holler if hubby is around or not. He don’t like it? Too bad—I ain’t liked all the inconvenience for 5 to 30 Years.

I just recently watched some you tube video, went and bought an auger and got my darn toilet fixed which has been a problem off and on for 5 years. Pa Kettle’s relative said I was gonna do that - you should have waited. Ha.

I had a tool kit come in the mail-it’s PINK- Hubby was like why??? I said, cause this way you won’t run off with my tools, and when I need to drive a nail, I’ll have a hammer handy. 😎

Our isn’t useuable those months either. And Hubby put some seedlings out there the other day. Inside that hobby green house we have a couple of the mini greenhouses/shelves with the zip closed plastic covering.

So he turns on the seedling mats and zips up the cover. I said, I would not do that if I were you, cause the sun is going to be shining hot tomorrow. Well, he had some stupid counter argument-I don’t recall what.

So when I woke up it was 100 degrees out there - I turned off the mats and unzipped the cover and opened the door and window to get the heat down — It killed half of the plants that were closest to the outer edge.

I like it for the extra heat in the winter(I open the patio door and it heats up my computer/TV room -12x24 ft.) when the sun shines and in the Spring and fall for transitioning plants. Also, Lunch out there is great when the sun shines.

But I have several plants such as lemon trees that need to be inside during the winter - and that was what the back porch idea was for.

I’m exploring bubble wrap, and I’m thinking that If I can partition a small section with the green house bubble wrap we might get by at night with a 100 watt bulb or a heat mat. Also looking at a kit for a second window and an automatic opener.
