so far so good, here north and east of Indianapolis. We did lose a panel of polycarb in the crazy wind a couple of weeks ago, but it was in the unheated greenhouse, and it's fixed now. We're working on making our 36x26 greenhouse into a 26X96 greenhouse for spring, but it's getting too cold right now. It'll be done by the time we need it though. The bananas are starting to plump out on my ice cream banana a little, slowly.
We haven't gotten any real snow to speak of, the ground is white, and we're getting just a dusting every day. Just enough to keep the ground covered which is good for the perennials. It could keep this up all winter!
