..maybe he can start using led lighting and have year round Christmas lights outside. How do you feel about your energy bill? Why not just bring the plants in until it warms up in a few weeks. I wouldn't leave my plants in 33F weather first night. Your always thinking outside the box.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Jeez I'm starting to sound like AJ! Could be worse right?

I'm...I'm glad I knew you, you know, before, because there is not turning back.

Pamela,
You have already said you are going to steal my peppers and tomatoes, coerce my cat into loving you and perhaps sow feral basil in my garden. What else are you going to do - I know you won't mess with my lights - you might become enlightened!
BTW, I have friends in Columbia - I think! I'll have to find out for sure where they live. If close, have them sow tobacco seeds in your garden!

all good advice...but....I had to close up the gaps at 7:15, then I had to put a tent up at 8:15...the temps are getting back to where I want them now...
here is a graph to show what the ambient temperature has been compared to the greenhouse/tent temps
It is currently 45.5F ambient and the Greenhouse Tent is 71.1.....will watch it for a while to see how hot it gets inside the tent...

It's what I do Pam...can't help it...maybe when I retire...
AJ, I didn't even know you built a greenhouse, very nice. Now you know I need your blueprints, right. I have a cement slab I could throw one on. If you have a thread that you started for your greenhouse post the link would ya.

Oh I don't think it will get any better when you retire AJ. What's going to happen is you'll have more time to spend thinking and designing newer more extravagant set ups for your plants.
Wait until your backyard is all finished the way you want it. You'll be setting up conveyor belts for the plants to follow the sun, automatic sprinklers hooked up to sensors that will turn them off and on as needed, auto fertilizer, auto harvesters and things I can't even imagine. The only thing you'll be doing by hand is giving yourself a well deserved pat on the back. I can't wait to see it.
Good luck.
