The equinox brought w/ it cooler temps and tonight the forecast temp is 37 degrees. Close enough to freezing that I decided not to risk the plants I'm overwintering. This morning I put in the long flower boxes on the first tier of end tables in Sleipnir. Oops, had one left over. Well would figure out where to put that later. Once I had filled up that lowest level of plant stands I didn't like the feel of it. Too hard to water. Decided to pull back the next two tiers about a foot and a half. That felt better. Filled up the middle tier w/ a series of pots that were all approximately the same size. Liked that. Used the top tier for the various other sized pots. Looked pretty good. I did have that long flower box and five hanging pots left over. Can always overwinter those in Mjolnir. I'd talked to the brothers about putting in hooks so I could hang some of the plants from the ceiling. I'll make a note of where the hangers should be placed. That's when I noticed the sunlight streaming in to the area below the plant stands. Had planned that area for storage but I have plenty of storage room. Placed the overflow plants there. Everything tucked away successfully, I shut the garage door. No need to turn on the heat yet but I did move Jormungandr over to Mjolnir for the winter. There is room in Sleipnir for it but this way I have more walking around room and I don't have to expose the plants to cold weather whenever I open up the garage door to take Jormungandr out for a run.
