It's so ugly, I didn't take pics but I can add some later today or tomorrow. For now, just imagine sheets of foil taped to cheap 60's/70's paneling and the sides of the windows. (My house was built in 1900...) Hopefully there won't be plants in there for 4-6 weeks, but whenever Jack Frost shows up, I'm ready. DH also chopped down a tree that was blocking a lot of the AM light so I'll be able to use some east windows that weren't worthwhile for plants until that tree came down.

They're the same old plants I've been dragging in & out for decades, and a few new crew members this year. They were OK without the foil for previous winters, but will hopefully be better able to stay looking more like they do when outside.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
