Default Planted my SDC in the ground & put a PVC greenhouse around it

Took my SDC out of the pot and put in the ground. It is now to big for the house and the corm and stalk will have a better chance of not freezing over the wither if it is in the ground rather than in a pot. I also am placing a PVC greenhouse over it. I fully expect the leaves will not survive the freezes but I do hope at least the thicker part of the stalk will survive for a quicker recuperation next spring.

Ready to go into his new hole.

Finally got his feet in the real earth.

Open southern exposure for some sun. Will close during non banana like weather.

Northern side. Will close my "circulation hole" before cold sets in.
The fixture is staked to the ground and has some protection from several out buildings around to help protect against the winds.
