My pond runs all winter, zone 2/3

@Colleene, If you've a mind to, you can take live moss, chop/grind it up, mix it with milk and paint it on surfaces you want the moss to grow on. The milk when it dries will glue on the moss until it sets root.

Thanks! Will have to try that some time. I have a certain wild moss that grows on the wood roof of my old garage, and I got it growing right along the edge of my koi ponds by setting pieces on lava rock, at the waters edge, and now it is now rooted right in. I would like to get it growing on damp wood by the pond too.

It is a cold March here this year, no early planting as the for caste for tomorrow is even colder! The first half of March is for caste to be cold with no relief in sight till mid month!
Here is what I can do to save the greenhouse from losing too much heat at night...

Going to build some shelves today in my greenhouse. .

Glad your guppy pond has a little heater

Got the shelfs built in new section of greenhouse before work. Everything nice and organized in greenhouse now. Transplanted tomatos too.

Sitting down here in Az in our camper listening to your video in the greenhouse in the snow. We are way hot here and melting. Could use some of your snow right now to cool us off. My husband says you talk w/a mystifying voice
When your phone rang it sent my hubby scrambling for his phone

I agree with your husband, @callingcolleen1 has a mystical voice.....I believe she could be a hypnotist " You're feeling very sleepy now, here in Canada......"

You've done a great job with your new greenhouse, Colleen!
This cold arctic air mass is not being very nice to us right now!

Last time when down here temps were way lower, so much hotter than normal this time

 

[addy1]

Yeah last winter it was a colder than normal winter there, this winter a heat wave at least for a couple of weeks.

I begining to think winter will never be over !! I remember planting pansies in early March many times. I am so glad to have this greenhouse even if it costs extra to heat, as it gives me much pleasure to have warm steamy greenhouse to soak up some sun. I swear if I can get a little bed in their some way then I for sure would be having little naps in the sun. I saw little fold up cots for camping that I could squeeze in there somehow and seriously considering it! I could lay there and wear shorts and t shirt and lay there on my days off tanning!
