  1. So far so good with the thermal mass, lowest interior temp has been 40, which is acceptable.
  2. The greenhouse is staying above freezing with the new thermal mass, but I think I may need to add more before it gets colder next month.
  3. I just set up the 30 gallon thermal mass in the greenhouse so it can start warming up. Near freezing nights next week!
  4. Just posted the November greenhouse update: http://bit.ly/1x2nOj
  5. Cleaning out the in-laws' veggie garden today. Will be removing grass in the backyard and relocating it for the next season.
  6. I'm going to try a home improvement store this week to find insecticidal soap concentrate. Wish me luck!
  7. Posted this month's bloom day: http://bit.ly/CTmhE
  8. Went to the nursery for insecticidal soap concentratre, no dice. Then looked for cool weather veggies, struck out. Time to go through seeds!
  9. Cooler temperatures means less water. The greenhouse plants only need water every couple days.
  10. Today's Project: Pot up cannas.
  11. With lower temperatures, the tomatoes are blooming like crazy. The electric toothbrush got a workout pollinating today.
  12. The shade cloth is off the greenhouse and the plants are loving it.
  13. This weekend another cold front moves in, so out to the greenhouse to take down the shade cloth!
  14. A cold front moving in tonight that will make lows in the 40's. I turned up the temp on the fan and turned off the misters to conserve heat.
  15. The greenhouse tomatoes got a stern pruning today to make way for the late season growth.
  16. @CDNGardening These are amazing! I am fascinated with time lapse photography with plants - and now I could time lapse my own plants!
  17. Took a visit to the fall display at the Bellagio Conservatory today. It was magical with mums, a water wheel and talking tree!
  18. Replaced the misting timer last night, old one wouldn't turn off which defeats the purpose of a timer! Glad the store took an exhange.
  19. Sowed seeds for peas, green onions and cat grass today.
  20. Also posted on the site about sedums and the September greenhouse update. http://www.desertgreenhouseguide.com/
