My plants have now a protection. Yesterday I set up my little greenhouse, which I bought of eBay recently.
It's 1,40 x 1,40 m and 2,00 m high. Still not all "family members" moved in yet, but some of my smaller bananas and more tropical palm trees already spent a night in there.
In the shelter, I'll have about 2 - 3° C more than ambient temperature during the night, which could be fine to keep it above freezing if unheated. But I'll add some heating soon.
I think it was right on time as it got colder over here as well. This night shall be around 8°C and the next nights will be about the same.

As for the cold, it went down recently, but it's getting back to 12/7C as it should be.

LOL, there's going to be an Earth M field reversal in 2012? I'd better prepare for that. Come on, fellas, nobody really knows, what is going to happen in 2012?


From the psc.edu:

At about 36,000 years into the simulation the magnetic field reversed its dipole polarity over a period of only 1200 years. The image below is from an animated sequence showing how the field's structure changed.
here's the link... WHEN NORTH GOES SOUTH: Three-Dimensional Simulation of Geomagnetic Field Reversal

So it's going to be a magnetic field free world for quite a while, ain't it?

Unhappy Re: Weather forecast

Pretty bad forecast for the next 48 hrs here due to newly genovese ciklon! Heavy rain at the moment but might turn into strong, windy storm in afternoon and strong winds up to 65 knt tonight and tomorrow. Not to forget cooldown and wind chill effect

Add a slight morning and night frost, lots and lots of rain, blizzards... I don't know, but a calm, sunny, icy day would be muuuuch better.

5th night of -2 to -4 frosts (more at the ground). PK had slightly burnt leaves, some of them more, some of them less (not due to cold, but because the water vapor condensated on the big leaves and then froze all over the plant, melting in the morning... )

The other baby seems dead, but we will see.

Bug mamma is holding itself quite nicely... inside now, moved to cold, dry, controlled environment.

Pix when I have more time.

How have you been guys doing non temperature wise? It's slightly more unpleasant to hang around these days, ay, Ante?

Just got out of a scary week-end here....... LOT, LOT of rain and strong winds . The only good part of the past day has been temperatures with a minimum of 18° celsius ....
Also (as usual) here in Rome's surrounding we got hit only marginally from the storm , compared to northern and southern Italy where there have been also 3 deads from flooding and terraind avalanches....

Next few days should be good with H.P. granting good weather in the mediterranen area....

The rain and the cold stopped here in Greece last Friday. Since then the weather is quiet, sunny, but a bit chilly. But from now on, it's getting warmer every day. Till the end of the week, highs should be around 20 ° C.

Last week, especially on Thursday was a nightmare. We had high rain and floodings.

The news reported, that this October was the wettest and coldest in the last decade. I hope November will stay like it has started now. The forecast is calm, sunny and mild for the next week...

Yup, it's been quite warm (not too sunny), so let's hope it will stay like this. Although folk predictions say, that the warmer it is now, the worse will it be in winter.

Talking Re: Weather forecast

We're pretty cold these days and this morning I woke up to another hard frost and nothing but dead plants in my gardens.



Sunny, but partly cloudy this afternoon, and sitting at 43°C...6°F.





At least my beautiberries still look pretty, and will all winter...








Have a great Tuesday, Y'all!
