This weekend, winter met spring in our greenhouse. With snow covering the ground and spring bulbs in pots, we had an idea—bring the snow inside.
Our pots with spring bulbs have been inside the greenhouse since autumn. As the greenhouse warms during sunny afternoons, the soil dries out. Since the water isn’t pumped yet due to -10°C temperatures, we decided to bring snow inside. It will melt slowly, providing gentle moisture to the pots without shocking the plants.
Have you ever done that?

I sincerely hope that this works well, Ilze. 😊
Thank you! 😊 The Snow will melt! ❄️🌱
Good news!!
A good idea, I would think. Not done it, though
Plants need water when they start to grow. The snow will melt as soon as it’s warmer outside or sunnier inside 🙂
No but it sounds like a great idea.
It was a nice activity we did together with the kids 🙂
We don’t get ice like you 😭
Oh, sorry to hear that. Love winters with a bit of snow 🙂
