My husband knew what he was getting into when he married me, so I do not get to much flack from him. I am also the master at sneaking in new plants though. One day he told some friends that he probably would not even know if I got more. I was thinking Hurray! that was the green light to hit the stores! I really hope I get my sunroom this winter. I have a small greenhouse but I do not have electricity in it yet and we have to run cords from the house. That is not the safest thing to do and I think that is the only way I have him talked into it. Plus I have most of the materials already.

I like your guys ways of overwintering your pots. It is so much easier than my way. My way of going in and out with them for sun and cooler temps that really make some nice color on them and works for me. I consider it a good workout to keep me fit during the winter months. We are suppose to have a very wet and cold winter this year, so I will probably not be able to that so much this winter. Last year we barley had any room to function the house was so full on freezing nights. I love it though. I get to eat breakfast in my own little botanical garden and it helps with those winter grey days that I dread. Some days I feel like I must be part succulent. I need full sun to look and feel my best. I have no clue how northerners deal with that kind of cold. I have always lived in Texas so I really have no understanding of what living in snowy conditions feels like. I don't plan on finding out either!
