5hort5 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I'm going on a small camping trip for fishing, canoeing, beer and steaks, the usual stuff next weekend and was looking at the longer ranger weather models, it's a while off but a number are hinting at either northerly or NNW winds with a possibility of some frost for north Wales and other north western parts of the UK Saturday into Sunday. It could all change but it maybe time to start thinking about any precautions that may need to be taken (if any). Sooner or later the frost will be coming.

5hort5 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Should I do anything with mine apart from leave them in the poly greenhouse and stick a small heater in if it gets below zero for more than a few hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob158 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 i think it depends on what you have in there as to how you treat them, Should I do anything with mine apart from leave them in the poly greenhouse and stick a small heater in if it gets below zero for more than a few hours?

dchasselblad74 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm going on a small camping trip for fishing, canoeing, beer and steaks, the usual stuff Must be nice.......I cant remember the last time I went camping, fishing, beer, steak......I miss those days... but about your plants, since its inside a greenhouse(Im assuming) a small heater should suffice for a few hours of freeze but of course Im also assuming you have Sarracenias and Sundews.....

dchasselblad74 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 My Sarracenias and Sundews are all outdoors and at the mercy of often changing Chicago weather....but I think, since it started to get chilly, specially at night, my plants are hardening off making them get ready to go dormant. It wont be long, before I put about a foot of straw as mulch all over my bogs, then wrap the ones in pots in baggies and put them in my sisters unheated back porch...
