A bit of a random thread. I lost a ton of houseplants this year, due to the summer (less loss) and working too much to bring them in before cold (the bulk). I think I lost close to 40 plants: Small olive tree, 6 year old Baucarnia stricta seedlings, a 6 foot Draceanea tricolour, 2 var. of Ficus elastica, a Phal orchid, Areca palm, to name a few. Some managed to get some massive damage and survive, like my 2 Phoenix Canariensis/Roebelleniii, Chinese fan palm, Philidendron selloum and a Yucca Guatamalensis, that tool -12C outside in a pot with zero damage whatsoever.I also recently bought myself a new 4 foot ballast for some grow lights. I used to use a jerry rigged 4 light system, but this doubles the luminens and wattage and at the same time giving me almost 1/4 more grow space.I also have some pics of some seedlings of tims agave hybrid big mama, and elata #5. The only problem is I think I mixed up the pots when I sowed the seeds....Seed order I got the other day. Cocoa, Rice paper plant, Carribean canna, Philodendron ichthyoderma, Prunus tomentosa and Dypsis albofarinosaDresser full of plantsThe "grow op". Various trachys, washys, Needle palms, 2 kinds of dypsis, a bunch of things im waiting to germinate, a batch of licula ramsyii that finally showed a spear... Im using tinfoil as a reflecter until I can cut some polished aluminum.This is the bathroom. There are about 50 plants in there, from Ficus lyrita and religiosa, 2 kinds phalanopsis orchid, and 2 kind of Cymb orchid, Aloe Vera, Musa Acuminata var. and moreDraceana "janet craig". Note that the ceilings are 7.5 feetRandoms. Those arrowhead vines have been around for over 30 yearsMusa Basjoo, Big Dieffenbachia, a wide ficus benjimina and a good 20 or 30 othersOne of tims yucca seedlingsOne quick post after this to post the other seedling..

I really need more garden space.................I will likely not get the PDN linearifolia................I have 30 yuccas waiting for garden spaces...........time to move. 8)

I'm not gonna move - two month ago I got extra 500 sq. meters (have no idea about sq.feet) of a garden plot. Constructor filled up a ravine along an east edge of my backyard. Now I have 1500 sq.meters of the land in total. 😯

Nice to see the ground again.
Through my frozen eyes. 😆

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Can't find my bikini... 😛 😆

Accuweather says, by Tuesday, our High will be 9C 48F, and LOW of 5C 41F.
Hope Aaron gets that warm-up too.

But hoping it's not a typo. 🙄

Thanks Barb, but I think we won't see above freezing untill the Tuesday after, so almost ten days from now. And only a high of 33F/0.5C.

I want you to box up some of that 48f and send it with Jay, so he can drop it off here on his way to Vegas. 😀

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I'm doubtful about that forecast, Aaron.
Probably more like next Tuesday, as you say.
