Greenhouse Hit Hard By Power Outage

On April 30, 2011 the power went out here at Tolsia. When the power went out the greenhouse was unable to operate. It completely sealed off and was unable to circulate the air causing the temperature to rise as the day progressed. The hanging baskets were hit the hardest by the intense heat burning most the plants in the baskets. The plants on the tables weren't hurt as badly by the heat but could not be trimmed because it is so late in the year and they would not grow back in time to be sold.
