Overwintering potted perennials--how warm is too warm?
Hi, I need to protect a bunch of potted perennials from the cold this winter. I have an unheated shed attached under the house that is insulated, and due to residual heat from the house the temperature is over 50 degrees during the day. Is that too warm for potted perennials? How warm is too warm? BTW, it is pitch black in this shed as there are no windows.

Turkey hens sitting on eggs
I had 2 juvenile hens sent for my tom. After a few weeks, the royal palm began sitting on her nest of seven eggs. Then, one morning 2 days later, 8 eggs, now 9 eggs. I am not sure if it is the other hen sneaking in and laying an egg (slightly less speckling) but the situation is that I need to leave door open so the royal palm can come and go on pasture. I have a box right next to royal palm's nest for the slate but no action there....I started marking the eggs and hope hatching doesn't linger forever, but this hen is a pretty good sitter.....any ideas of what to do? thanks!

Less mold and mildew on Mt. hood?
Hello, I have mold/mildew allergies and asthma, and we're trying to find a place to live with less mold and mildew than is in the Portland area, but within commuting distance to downtown Portland. Recently we stayed on Mt Hood on Route 26, and I could breathe, so we are considering moving closer to Mt Hood. Does that side of Mt Hood have less mold (humidity, warmth)? Would living half an hour closer to Mt Hood make any real difference in the amount of mold? Are there other areas close to Portland with less mold? Thanks for your help!
