Howdy all and keep up the good work bozzo420.
Had a busy day yesterday... Yes, you can blame Mrs... She decided we MUST put up the shade screen yesterday regardless of my plans, so while it was a moderate 110 degrees inside I thought, what the heck... I needed to determine if the shade would reduce in internal temperature...
Just as I was ready to begin, Mrs. had an "emergency trip" to the store, leaving me to do the work... alone!
Since I don't know how to repair plants I removed EVER pot, leaving them outside most of the day while I observed the temperatures throughout the day.
When the temperature didn't drop from 110 I chose to take the fan from my garage and place it in front of the door... It dropped the temperature differential from 20 degrees down to 10!
Two weeks ago when we hit 103 I had heat wilt on the tips of a plant which died and turned brown and this week we have a return of 100+ degree days. I am making a coop run this morning, so had to insure the safety of the ladies while away... The shade isn't effective until the sun get high as it only covers the inside of the roof, so it quickly reaches 100 as the sun rises... I found Preying Mantis eggs in a tree I trimmed Sunday and yesterday I found a wild Lady Bug Larvae inside my greenhouse which I relocated to my plants...
It hung around all day, but I didn't see it this am... No sign of hatching from the eggs...
Well, wish'n all a great day... Time to S,S, and shave!
