Beforecontinuing with my greenhouse hacks and tips, I have an announcement. Because I heard from many gardeners that they regret missing the window to enroll in my Master Seed Starting course or they were hesitant to commit to the enrollment tuition, I am now offering a one-time seed starting webinar on Wednesday, February 28, at noon Eastern.
Hoping to avoid any snags, I sent in a permit application. Weeks went by without me hearing anything, and then one Friday I heard from the concrete company that they would be coming that following Monday to pour the pad. I tried to delay, but the concrete company said they did not know when they could get me back on their schedule because concrete is in short supply.
I also opted for ceiling fans in the greenhouse to improve airflow. For the same reason, I also opted for extra windows. The base model does include windows, but not as many as I would like to ensure the health of the plants inside. Now I have great airflow from the front to back and side to side, which makes a world of difference.
Because my greenhouse was delivered at the end of December, the first season I experienced was winter. I learned that overnight, the temperature inside a greenhouse is the same as the temperature outside. Even on a cold day, a greenhouse gets warm or even hot inside, but then after the sun goes down, that warmth dissipates.
In addition to setting alerts for lows, I also set alerts for highs. If a greenhouse gets overly hot, it can fry plants. I got one such alert when the temperature reached 103 one day while I was out. Thankfully, my daughter lives close by and she was able to stop by and open the windows and door.
Another big one is shade cloth. Some people put these inside their greenhouse, but I secured it over the top. Other greenhouse owners recommended Aluminet shade cloth, which is an aluminum fabric weave. It knocked down the temperature by 15-20. I put it on after the peak growing season in April and kept it on until I was ready to move my seeds in for seed starting in January.
Spray down plants with a stiff stream of water to get off the aphids and anything else that may be lurking on your plants. Once you bring pests inside the greenhouse, it only gets worse. They will thrive in that environment. I made this mistake and had to take my plants back outside to do what I should have done in the first place.
I have a couple of cats and a dog that love to hang out with me in the garden. One, Larrie the cat, really loves the greenhouse. In fact, I thought about installing a cat door on the greenhouse. However, fellow greenhouse owners warned me off. A cat door can also be a door for raccoons and other critters that would love to be in a warm greenhouse in winter.
Plants will grow huskier, stockier and thicker in these conditions. It is an alternative to applying hormones to influence growth. Using DIF is why greenhouses can supply Easter lilies that are the perfect height, Charles points out.
Greenhouse owners can cool a greenhouse by opening the vents at daylight, letting the temperature fall as low as the 40s or 35. After there has been enough daylight, the hormones will start moving freely again.

Indicators are one of my most used ArcGIS Dashboards elements. They are a simple but powerful element that easily conveys useful information to your audience. That simplicity can be a bit deceiving as there are some overlook hacks that can allow you to do more with your indicators. Today we will be digging into some of those hacks to answer some of the most common indicator questions I see.
I used this Windstorms in the U.S. layer from NOAA. In the data there is a field for the number of people injured by a storm and a field for the number of fatalities. For this example, I wanted to display the total number of people injured or killed by storm.
Thanks to that reference field, I was able to access some additional fields that are not typically available when using just a value. When I clicked on the curly brackets, I got the option to display:
As users filter the dashboard by incident type, the text will dynamically change to display the type of events they have filtered for. This portion will only work when filtered, so I need to set up a value to display when an incident filter has not been applied.
I am left with two separate indicators. To give the impression that they are a single indicator, I moved the text indicator to the value indicator while holding down the shift key to group them together.
Hacking activity ebbed and flowed throughout the year, with huge spikes in March and October, the latter of which became the biggest single month ever for cryptocurrency hacking, as $775.7 million was stolen in 32 separate attacks.
Schwed also told us that regulators have a role to play here, and can help make DeFi safer by setting minimum security standards that protocol developers must follow. The data on DeFi hacks makes one thing clear: Whether achieved through regulation or voluntary adoption, DeFi protocols will greatly benefit from adopting better security in order for the ecosystem to grow, thrive, and eventually penetrate the mainstream.

Our basic premise was to go at a time when the crowds were less, to stay close enough that kids could take a break or nap if need be and come back rejuvenated. And also be well in time to be as ahead in queues as possible and maximize the shows, the parade, the fireworks! So here are all the Disneyland hacks and the best Disneyland tips for first timers.
We avoided public holidays and weekends. This is the perfect place for 2 days and the whole world knows that. A lot of people have annual memberships and passes. Disneyland has specials for locals and neighbours all year round.
We chose to go there in February (on a Wednesday) when the winter is receding and New Year break is over so most people are not keen to travel right away. In the past, I have visited Disneyland California in August-September, and distinctly remember being boiled. Fortunately, no kids at that time. Before finalizing your dates, check out the Disneyland Crowd Calendar.
I think the best way to find out how to get there is to tell your kid and he/she will be back the next day with all the low-down ? That was the level of involvement and enthusiasm in our kids in our household!
Los Angeles (LAX) has multiple incoming flights from around the world and there are a gazillion cabs, Uber/Lyfts and buses to get you to Anaheim. Anaheim is accessible by bus from 70+ cities. The closest airport is John Wayne Orange County airport, but the flight options may be fewer especially the international ones.
