He is 15 miles NORTH of me!
I've scoped him out using google (thanks, Aaron). He is just SE of the main downtown part of Tulsa and so maximizes the urban heat island effect. I'm far enough out of town to miss out on that.
From what I infer he does not use supplemental heat. I'll willing to plug 'em in if necessary, so I figure I can catch up in a few decades!
All kidding aside, I am sure I can learn a lot from him. I've promised a dinner out in exchange.
If he lets me write down and photograph his secrets I'll share them here.

North?
You'll be growing pineapple soon
You've seen that providing "controlled" supplemental heat in a wind-protected enclosure is a sure thing.
He'll be taking pictures of your palms in a few years
I'm happy for you Erik.

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

Hey Erik,
Here is a few pictures of how John protects his GIANT washy. I'm not sure if he uses any heat in there that will be a question for you to find out
Just to get your creative mind thinking about planting a washy again!
