Tomorrow is opening day of gun deer season here. I hope DH gets his first thing and it will be done with. He only takes one deer even though he can get more tags for as many does as he wants. Good thing, because we cut it up and grind it ourselves.

LOL Pat. I had a old boss 15 years ago. and I asked him if he did any Veg Gardening. And He said that he did. He said he did it ALL at WALMART. Them he said that there are no weed in them alise. LOL. I don't think I would like to grind up all that meat at one time. You enjoy hunting at WALMART. LOL
Pat, hope your dh has good hunting early on for you! I don't know when hunting season starts around here. May have already started for all I know!!
Gary, tomorrow I have to figure out where to put away my hose finally and I also have to figure out where I'm going to hang my new bird feeder if I am at all. I might return it cause it looks like it'd be an easy one for squirrels to get at now that I think about it and have been looking at it. I really want a platform feeder. I suppose I could turn this feeder into a platform feeder.

Marg, I'm so glad you said that. I've got to get my hose unhooked and the cover on soon and had forgotten about that. Also need to figure out a heat solution for the greenhouse, do you think I could use a heat lamp or would it get too hot? (its only 8x8 and covered with double plastic on a wood frame)

skippydel13zone6KY:Also need to figure out a heat solution for the greenhouse,
Go to walmart and buy a ceramic heater. I think they are about $30. Used to be around $20. I think it would be much cheaper to operate than a heat lamp. It is thermostatically controled. That is what I use in mine when I put it up in the spring. I run it around 40 degrees.
Thanks Wilderness, I have a ceramic heater but had picked up a heat lamp at a garage sale so was wondering if it would work better. Guess I'm just not going to be able to use it in the winter months, it just wouldn't be worth the cost of heating it.
You would only have to run it at night. The sun is going to heat you up just fine during the day. I think it costs me a couple of dollars a day when I run mine and my temps are in the low teens at night when I first start up. I am thinking of getting a heat coupler, I think that is what they are called so the heat comes on before the air reaches freezing and off at 45.
Okay, now you got me curious, if you read up on anything like that, copy it and send me a PM about it. I just don't know $60 a month is worth what I'd have in there, I may just have to yank everything here soon and bring it in and then in spring I can send it back out when I can't walk through my house anymore cause I'm tripping over seed trays. LOL If I could just win that lottery I'd grow up and have a real greenhouse with automatic heat or heck, nice young buff boys to monitor it for me. LOL Surely before I die I'll have this stuff down to a perfection. HAHA
Are you referring to the heat coupler? If you could bring things in until March. that is only 3 months away then put things back out there that might work. I start mine around the 15th of March.
I was thinking of a green house. But DW said that I have to learn how to be a gardener first. We get our plants at the PX. on post. They are cheap there . Last year we got tomatos at $1.00 for 4. Can't bet that.
Still working on the driveway today. Should have it done by noon today. I hope.
