It's too cloudy! The forecast this week has one partly sunny day - tomorrow. Always it's better weather, tomorrow or some future day. Except, it isn't because we may have nighttime snow beginning Friday and right through the weekend. Hope that they are wrong!
My son will be making the long drive here from Portland. Not only do I want better and safer driving conditions but the south room and it's plant-friendly Window will be for his use during his stay. It's time to fire up the greenhouse!
I did that yesterday morning on a day when I never saw the sun. It even sprinkled rain while I was touching up the fence panel I installed in the front yard. I think that the paint dried okay. Fortunately, the daytime temperatures look okay, not only is there a possibility of more fence work but my greenhouse heating costs shouldn't go through the roof .... only, through the South Wall!
@Collector , I have Celotex on the interior of the northside. That brand of foil-wrapped insulation board seems to only be sold in the UK now but Johns Manville has something similar (link).
The gas furnace fired up and has been running okay for almost 24 hours. When I started it in late morning, it was 37°f outdoors and 43° in the greenhouse without the furnace. I had the thermostat at 50° overnight and that has been right-on, according to the 2 thermometers out there. It's dark and freezing outdoors again right now.
The plant starts are in the house and there is only the onions and a few potted perennials out there. Howsomeever! There is more than a full South Window to deal with this week! I've gotta get these plants out where there is more light and room!
