# I’ve been catching myself staring at the wall SMH, thinking about…

_Posted by Elleoise on 2025-07-14_

I’ve been catching myself staring at the wall SMH, thinking about what the heck ima do for the winter. I moved to a much smaller house no too long ago, I have close to 200 plants 20 of which are currently inside the rest are outside (not all pictured) and only two big windows. I live in Louisiana so my winters aren’t too long or harsh, but it does freeze here a good bit. Ima have to get a job just so I can buy grow lights and shelves. Wonder if I can wrap my back porch tightly in thick plastic and create a tolerably warm environment for them? A kind of greenhouse. I’m going to research it and in the meantime does anyone have any luck/experience doing something like this?
