RE: Wednesday Walk - Time of the Super Moon and New Feathered Friends

This is a great write up and #wednesdaywalk @porters, although the images made me shiver.
I'm wondering where you live? We have had much warmer weather of late here in
Atlanta Ga. I've left my mini greenhouse open to the night air for the
Last several nights. It is always scary this time of year:
do I take the chance and dismantle the G house
And put it away? There is always the
Rural Wisdom of the "Easter Snap"
which seems to have almost
Always proven true.
I will now follow
You @porters

Glad you enjoyed the photos!I live in the Boreal forest in northern Saskatchewan Canada. We are a long way away from spring thaw instead we keep getting more snow! I have started some seeds inside in my sun room where I have an indoor garden under grow lights so I can garden all year long even if we have a very short growing season outside!

After I replied to your post @porters, I went to your profile and saw you were in Saskatchewan.
I have a FB friend named Jocelyn Bouchard who
lives in Lives in Saint-Tite-Des-Caps, Quebec and he also lives pretty much
Off the grid. I think he mainly uses solar for his electricity?
This is my greenhouse:

There were actually two metal frames with a vinyl 'tent' stretched over then.
I started out with them side-by-side, but I found I didn't need quite
That much space, so I took down one of them and stretched
the plastic over the first one for a double layer.

Those are all house plants, but I've had them
All since 2007. I've used light bulbs and
Candles to keep the temps above 39° at
Night, and now for the last 4 days
The flap has been left open at
Night and day. It is a scary
Time, because tho' we've
Had a very mild winter
(almost no winter)
we have the Easter
Snap to contend
With.
