   Thanks to all who added a comment. It is nice to get encouragement from other gardeners.

   The weather here in Elmira, New York has been crazy the last few days. Yesterday it was one degree when I got up, the day before that it was two. Today it was 28 and the snow that was falling changed to freezing rain and then back to snow.  Nothing falling at the moment thank goodness. Winter in this part of the world is always changing it seems.

   The greenhouse is doing great. I have transplanted some plugs and a few of the seeds I have started. It is interesting to be using a greenhouse. The needs of the plants are different than what I am used to. I worry about the amount of light they are getting, watering can be a challenge, and always have to be mindful of the temperature. A little sun sends the greenhouse to 85 in no time. It is fun to try and learn how to grow things this way. I get the added benefit of getting to see plants growing too.

    Enjoy the winter everyone, won't be long and we will have spring!
