In the last two days I have learned:

These green tomatoes will probably survive the coming frost tonight if covered, but

This bloody watermelon I have been nursing and babying, probably will not.
This morning, right now in fact the temp here is 38°F, pretty unusual here this early, and it will be colder tonight.
Weather heads are saying that today and tomorrow we make break both High and Low temp records for these two days.

I already knew this, but it has been driven home:

Time Marches On

Coming up on three years in my new home, and now the large potted plants on the porch that I put there by myself, moved in and out last year, I just can't do it now.
Folks I am getting old. My hands elbows and shoulder hurt, especially in the cold, so I learned that...

if you ask, most times people will help you.

I have always cared for my plants, my Dracaena's started out as ONE stem in ONE pot in 2007, before the windstorm that busted the other pot, I had two of these on my porch

And I was (barely) able to lift those pots from those stands and set them down on a cart to bring inside.
The one on the left was blown over in the storm, the pot busted all too heck, so now rather than one pot, I have THREE pots (smaller of course).
So here is the plan this year. Well back up.
Last year, I tried to keep some of the potted plants in a small plastic green house (I already had)
It was a lot of trouble and anxiety, with limited success.
So this year, I am moving everything to my studio,
I have Purchased another green house I will set up INSIDE for the plants.

This will allow me to control the humidity, humid for the plants in the enclosure, not humid outside because that would not be good for the acoustic piano, guitars and electronics that also inhabit that space.

I borrowed this little cart from one neighbor and loaded this much myself, and pulled it around to the back door to the studio (gasping for breath by the time I got there, COPD is no joke my friends)

Then my other neighbor showed up and unloaded that cart, together we came back and got the larger pots I couldn't lift alone, so that now, I have a jungle in my studio

So the thing to be learned here is, no matter how difficult it is to ask, (because you are an independent bast&&d,) ASK for help when you need it. Like the bible says:
Ask and Yee shall receive, knock and the door shall be opened

"Ask for help when you need it"
