I gotta agree, your bustin' at the seams. Warm weather is not far away. It is amazing how the warmer sun by the windows and the longer days kind of pushes everything to grow. Just hold on a few more weeks.

I normally start taking plants out the first week of April,you see I take the plants out of there pots and plant in the ground,and repot in the fall,I get amazing growth doing it this way,and usually have to prune everything about halfway back to get them back in the greenhouse.
April 12th is the last frost date,but I gamble a little sometimes I have to cover things up with tarps ,sheets and blanketd a nite or too,LOL looks like halloween sometimes out front!!!LOL

Barrie,

I think I'm going to have to down size next winter,I'll have to give away a lot of plants,a lot more than I normally do,and believe me I give away a lot of plants.
But I have fun doing it!
