Greenhouse active in this cold weather

Well this is the first spring with our greenhouse in place and it has been very hard on electric power as I was not prepared to provide heat this long. We were shopping at a country greenhouse last night and the fellow said it was very expensive for them this spring. They use kerosene as well as natural gas and propane. So far they have used 55 gals of kerosene where last year they used 5! Though we did lose a few plants earlier on, we now have good growth and things are looking good.
I created an outdoor special area which serves at least three purposes:
clean place for the pots, pleasant area to work and dead grass at the end of the season.

Thoughts on spring and doing things

I am so amazed at the hardiness of plants. Most of the Clematis are already sending up shoots and/or budding out. There are still many Clematis seedlings which are not showing but I am hopeful. There are also many of the Daylily seedlings showing up as well so it will be interesting to see if they might bloom this year. Just need some warm weather.
There are about 13 sets of Morning Glory seeds waiting to be planted this morning so maybe some pictures in a couple of days.



Also found new leaves coming on a couple of Blackberry Lilies which is very surprising as they should not be hardy here.
