Yesterday, I picked the one single pumpkin that successfully grew this year. Squash bugs and grasshoppers killed most of the vines this year. I had two other vines growing about 5 pumpkins when freezing weather hit and they never matured. The one pumpkin is in a window to ripen. Not sure it will even ripen before Thanksgiving.
So, did the dogs use the solarium? Doesn't appear so. It's a few degrees warmer this morning than the last few days. I spent time showing them how to get into and out of the solarium through the dog door. Showed them the heater in the solarium to let them know it was warm. So, this morning it seems what they learned was that they want to be where I'm at. Whining and scratching at the back door. So, the electric space heater was a waste of money to run all night. I'll still set up the gas heater because it costs less. It's not abuse if you set up a warm place, teach them to use it and they don't do so. It's definitely large enough. They have over 100 sq ft they can access in there. But they don't want to sleep any place that does not smell like feces and that is exactly why they are not coming inside the house.
