My husband had off work yesterday and when I got home I had a surprise waiting on the deck...he had gone out and bought me a small(5'x5'x6.5') plastic greenhouse big enough for a small shelf and the 3 large lotus pots. We had looked at and put it up and tied it down to the deck, and put in a cardboard floor to keep out drafts. We had looked at it at a local home improvement store on Sat. but he said he didn't think it would stay warm enough at night...I told him for the lotus it didn't have to be that warm at night and any other plants would probably do ok also.....he said it was a gift for my birthday which was last month and he had forgotten it again. So have not put anything in yet....awful weather we are having, rain, sleet, snow, rain, sleet...cold damp 32* and not much improvement for the rest of the week....but I'm still happy with it.
