Default Everybody Is Home For The Winter

Well, we had a hard frost last night so everybody had to come home and get tucked in for the winter...even though we'll have some nice days for a couple more weeks, it's too much to haul things in and out! So Ross, see, everything made it home just fine!

Nice set up you have. Everything looks well arranged and tidy. What kind of orientation does your greenhouse have--east, south, etc.?

Hey Bikerdoc,

I just thought I'd chime in and say what a nice set up I think you have. And your collection looks nice and healthy.

I love your greenhouse, it's wonderful!! It's full of orchids, and there's just enough space to add a cozy chair to sit and admire the orchids. Can I come over?

Mine are all in too. In fact, some never even came out this summer because the nights were too chilly. Right now I only have my Cym and a Den kingianum outside. They'll be coming in in a few weeks too.

Bikerdoc , I must say that is very neat and tidy. I can't imagine having to put my plants away for the winter as we have a temperate climate here , no days below freezing at least. What temps do you go down to there ?
