Today was a warm one. Finally! I think it was only around 80 some degrees, but we went from using our furnace and fire place to trying NOT to turn on our air conditioner. Well, we didn’t cave and turn on the air but man I sure wanted to! I’m thinking before the end of the week, it’ll be on.
Like I said, the day was sunny and warm. Wonderful! But when I was sitting at work I kept thinking about my plants in William’s greenhouse. If it gets warm fast, you have to take care of the plants and move them down to the bottom otherwise they kind of fry. Now I knew that I had watered them really good before work, and I guess I’ll just have to see how they look when I got home. So right when I got home, into the greenhouse I went. Holy Smokes it was hot! OK, it wasn’t just hot, it was VERY HOT! My glasses were steaming when I just opened the door. And knowing this, I was afraid to see how the plants were going to look. Yup, some of them got smoked.
But then on the other hand, some of them still looked good!
It’s always good to have extras – just in case. I had water still in the water container inside the greenhouse so I thought that I’d give them a quick drink. I knew enough to test the water first and it was hotter than a hot bath water. So I quick poured it out and got some more from the rain barrel. I really don’t know why I was in such a big hurry at this point, but I sure was! Now I will just have to wait and see what is all going to live and what will need to be thrown out.
The photo of the day is the temperature gage inside the greenhouse. It tops out at 120 degrees and it took about 30 minutes for me to just get it below the 120 mark. Yea, it was warm in there!
