Thank you Steelviper, excellent idea on the trash bags, I'm out on 5 acres but I live in an alluminum (sorry about spelling) side double wide trailer, and I can't put nothing next to it, they will fry when the heat picks up, so they will be out in the field in the open. I've been slowly sitting them out to accustom them to our lovely California sun and well maybe I can get the Hua Moa to survive the winter with your lovely bag trick. ^_-
