So, the thermometer you got transmits to the PC? Or you took readings all night and entered them manually?

Did you buy one of those daisy pregnancy testers?!
I'm jealous. :cool:

Its just a $9.00 indoor/outdoor thermometer with a remote sensor I got at walmart...I have seriously been looking into a remote weather station that will report to the computer so I can have real time weather analysis and trending but at this point in time I don't want to spend the money on it...got other things planned...

Geez...I hope I don't need one of those pregnancy testers...the wife would freak out if we started a family with me 60 and her 56...

One bit of advice for that thing. If you plan on using it in sub-freezing temps, lithium batteries in the sensor will work but alkaline may not. And yes the lithium batteries cost a lot.

Here's what mine looks like from yesterday morning. The top is the outdoor temp, the bottom is the greenhouse temp. The alarm for overheating had just gone off.

FYI, this morning it didn't get too cold until almost sunrise so all I needed for heat was a hurricane lamp to take the chill off.
 
thanks for the tip...I had forgotten that (bout the batteries)

I truthfully don't think we will have another heavy freeze here...at least I hope not...they had predicted 33 last night and it only got down to 40...and the next 10 days forecast looks great...but we have had snow (flurries) 2 of the last three years on Easter weekend...

That's exactly the opposite of what our forecasters are like. I take the predicted low, subtract 4 deg for elevation and 5 deg for forecast error. Usually spot on.
 
AJ - the plants look great, but I'd have to agree with others, why not just bring them inside during for the night.

:shocked: I would of figured you'd have a weather station. I was eyeing one setup that had everything inside/outside temp/hum.dew/heat index/etc.. w/rain gauge & wind
but bought the middle basic that had everything inside/outside for temps/hum./dew./index/etc... it was a lacrosse technology brand sad to say it only lasted like 1.5 years.

the remote I had outside was run buy 1 set of (2)alkaline batteries for the 1.5 years it went through 1 winter & they died begining of Feb. this year almost through the 2nd winter. even when the temp read ( -OFL ) whatever that meant (never bothered to read all the directions) & when it read that it was really F'ing cold outside, but when it warmed up to about -20F to -15F it'd would read normal again.

now the the inside & outside units dont want to work properly. I guess its time to buy a new one but leary of buying lacrosse's deluxe setup that has everything (cuz of the price & wonder if it'll only last about 1.5 - 2 years)

I may get the wife to get me one for my birthday...
 
I can't get to the link from work Mike...will check it when I get home...

Lee...one recommendation....tie it down....wind will destroy it...
 
I didn't even think about that one Potawie...good one..

AJ,

A friend recommended this one to me. He's into the stuff and acts as a local weather station.

this season gets more exciting as the days pass...
 
Wow those plants are really loving life in the greenhouse. You can see it in the way the leaves stand erect. I really need a greenhouse to keep up now. Just watch the temps. and glad you found the "light". I really like seeing my name on other peoples plants.
 
Where did you get the Shiner beer seeds from? Seems to be growing wonmderfully but you needed to keep it's seed hat on until you go to drink it.

Yup...they love it in there...I feel like such an idiot for not putting them in earlier...the other "table" I have in there can accomodate about another 180 or so plants, so I am set up...I really like the way I staggered my planting this year...I actually have space not being used in my growrage now...but when I transplant this week, most of it will be used...it seems there are a lot of PRF markings on my 3" containers... ;)

got them from Shiner, Texas...they do grow well here in Texas...I carefully removed the seed hat just before taking this shot and tasted the sweet nectar...it's gone now, but another one is ready to transplant... :lol:
