Cold problems,

[awesomei]

As many of you probably know we have had tremendous cold coupled with massive power outages. I went without any power for over 83 hours! Thank God I purchased a generator for my greenhouse. But, They run on gasoline. Early Tuesday morning, 5 or 6 it ran out of gas. When I awoke my greenhouse was 38. Now, I am seeing browning on some of my phrags.. Any suggestions on what I should do for this browning?????

If it was just 38F, not much lower before that, I don't think you will have a bigger problem. I would not do anything now unless the plants/the browning parts get worse like having a bacterial infection or rotting. Make sure the plants are dry before nightfall.

There is nothing you can do once damage has occurred.

I have been known to drag my gas grill into the greenhouse to provide some heat.

we have seen the news footage in Australia - amazing. Stay warm and watch out for the carbon monoxide!

My gh temp. dropped to 40F for just a few hours due to a faulty generator (curse all of them!) and I've seen no damage
at all...so far. Monday was our coldest temps. and power outage. Good luck.
