12 degrees outside this morning at 7am... but...

It's 12 degrees outside this morning at 7am... but... inside my hoop house, it's a cozy 43.7 degrees F.

It's amazing what a  light bulb can do... and it has made all the difference in keeping the temperature up.

see the work light dangling from the center of the hoop house?

    Best to you!

  4. Heck I'm a gardener and I think you are a crazy ;> I wouldn't go out and harvest when it was too cold. I was waiting until this weekend when it warmed up above freezing.
