Journal April 9, 2018 - A very cold spring so far.


The Times-Union said that this would be the first day since spring began that we did not get snow in one form or the other, but we will be getting some tomorrow.

I left the olives and cymbidium in the greenhouse through these last cold nights with the electric heater set for 45 degrees on a timer from 9 to 9 and everything is fine. The lowest temperature in the greenhouse was recorded last night when it hit 35,  while the outside temperature was only 20.

Today it is only in the low 40s with a slight wind, but the sun is out and the greenhouse is well above 70 so I am putting the seedlings in the greenhouse for an hour or so to begin acclimating them.  Just a few days under the LED grow light and dome has done wonders for them.
