It looks like your set up though...wow, you have a very intricate system going there for your greenhouse! At least you're able to keep a few plants going with the heater system and all! So my friend, what do you do with all your time through the long winter months? Darlin', it's already getting cold at my place too...in fact, we are supposed to get down in the 30's this week...brrr! I'm not sure if I'm ready for the snow yet...but like you, we've gotten everything "winterized"! <br /><br />I'm so glad that you came by for a visit the other day and took a peek at my dining room mosaics...sure appreciated your sweet note...thank you, Darlin'!<br /><br />Warmest wishes,<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-73429568718033321442009-10-05T20:32:43.955-06:002009-10-05T20:32:43.955-06:00Well, I am totally impressed...what a great job!Well, I am totally impressed...what a great job!Carol.............https://www.blogger.com/profile/00830052294446316415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-53563438872557845392009-10-05T18:44:07.517-06:002009-10-05T18:44:07.517-06:00What a wonderful green house!

I'm sorry you've been sick too. I really never get sick but lately it seems to be what I do all the time! I think 99.99% of it is stress. Hopefully I'll get cured soon so I can enjoy my last little bit of time with Travis before he flies off for two years.onlymeherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880378084448908090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-38954756956871510132009-10-04T18:36:11.194-06:002009-10-04T18:36:11.194-06:00Hi Tootsie!

Seems like a lot of hard work for such a short time, but if you love flowers and it is obvious that you do, it's worth it.<br />How did you know how to build this greenhouse..I'm sure you must have done a lot of reseach on it before hand. Sounds like you have got a system that is efficient and works well. While you're pulling up the flowers that have been hit by the frost, will their seed pods be any good? If you have any seed pods you have an abundance up, I'd love to be a recipient. No Black Eye Susans..my daughter dugs hers up today to put in a driveway gate and bought them over to me to plant. I only wanted the seeds but guess the plants are even better. She needed to thin all of them anyway. Will have to see if I can talk her out of her garden phlox that's a pretty light lilac color and some thread-leaf coreopsis.Betty819noreply@blogger.com
