All,

I live in NJ-Zone 6B I believe, and recently purchased the SpringHouse™ Portable Greenhouse Kits to overwinter my pines and maples.

I also purchased one of those remote electronic thermometers at Lowe's for $12 that enables me to remotely monitor the temperature in the greenhouse from inside the house (quite cool).

Although I am keeping the front and back windows open on the greenhouse, the temperatures greatly fluctuate from 29 F to 60+F. I think this is primarily because it is facing South, however, I have no other spot in which to place it.

The question is, will this constant freezing and thawing kill the plants. I am not concerned about the pines as much as the Trident and Jap Maples.

I thought I saw something indicating the thawing and freezing is not a good thing.

I will browse through the posts again, however, any expert thought on this. If I have to move them all to a shed or garage I will, but, this will be a pain.

Thanks.
Ron
