Ok great! I just took your advice and put a min/max thermometer/hygrometer in there and will leave the vents open for proper ventilation. If it gets too warm, I’ll crack the windows.

Thanks. My wife designed it. If it was up to me there wouldn’t be so many drafty windows 🤣

I have a few ginkos, maples, elms, smoke bush, hornbeams, hinoki, juniper, and JBP.

I’ve got some top notch air rifles … rabbits like to eat my asparagus

Man they hammered your trees😢

I’m getting ready to break out the pellet gun

That’s what my mother-in-law just suggested too

Whatever it is, it’s back. It took another section of bark. What can I do to deter this critter? Any advice would be greatly appreciate. Thanks, Bobby

Thank You
