And in my project enclosing my patio with glass on the sides I installed a bay window which some of my plants are sitting.

Lovely bloom there, Benny!
When frost is imminent, a week before the first frost, contact me, and I'll show you a minor improvement on what to do so that you'll get your fruits intact over the winter and hopefully ripen in the early summer next year. |

Ha-ha. Thanks Millet.
I am enjoying and my 3 sons fresh homemade apple pies and apple sauce with vanilla ice cream on top for dessert .
There's nothing better than home made apple pies and crusts too.
I wish I knew how to make apple cider. |
