Packed away my babies for the winter. The weather is still in the 60's with no frost in the 10 day forecast but winter will be here sooner or later. I tried to heat the "greenhouse" last winter but I think I'm going to try no heat this year. Even though I only had it hovering around 40 degrees I think I dehydrated a lot of them. I did not water at all. Watering will be a challenge but I'll try to water a couple times this winter.

Nicely done Aaron, Those of us who pile pots on top of pots know that is a work of art.
Good luck to all of us putting our "babies" away for the winter

These are stacked 4-5 pots high. Not exactly easy to water them consistently. The other problem is the water spigot is 100 yards away from the greenhouse. I have to keep the hose inside, drag it out on a warm day, try to water all the way to the bottom of the pile, then drain out all the water and put the hose away. Uggg
