And...probably around 2 a.m., I'll panic and bring them all inside again. 😉

It's good to let them breath some fresh air. 🙂 I'm thinking of bringing my big trachy out of the garage
so i can get some space back. 🙂

Barb, It is good to let them breathe. Now stop checking them and go back to bed!
Going down to -7c overnight and tomorrow night here. So I put the boxes back on the three palms that were exposed the past week. This should be the last time before they're all let loose! let's hope!

Thanks folks! 😀
Jay how about some pics of your rostratas.
Been a while since we've seen 'em.
And your trachy!
Yup...little "big mamas" are going in the ground this year.
Will put up signs so H doesn't pull them thinking they're weeds. 😐
I'm really really looking forward to seeing everyone's stuff outdoors...uncovered and happy.
And seeing Jim's shoes again.

You're lower on the crazy quotient, Mike 😆
Yesterday's overnight f/cast was -4C (24.8F), so, yup, dragged everything back inside
😡 😡
And it was only -1C (30.2F).
Better safe than sorry.
But leaving 'em inside.
My back can't handle all that.
actually a little lower...pain in the ***. 🙄

Barb, why arent the smaller plants on wheeled utility carts? Just wheel em around where you want em....

Understandable, Mike.
Just think how much we'll enjoy spring when it really arrives. 😛

Nice photos!
I moved all but 7 pots outside yesterday.
Will move a bunch of them back in tonight, and more tomorrow night. Oh, well. My exercise regime. 😆
