    St. Patrick's Day Pea Planting?

    St. Patrick's Day Pea Planting?

    I'll be planting peas on March 30th, it's a better planting date for peas and other above ground plants than the 17th. Not to confuse anyone but March 30th on today's "new" calendar is March 17th on the Old (Julian) calendar so I'll be right on date. :lol: Chris

    Yea, the over heating is going to be a big problem I believe. I know that the old A frame greenhouse will get 90 greenhouse air temperature @ 11:30/ 12:00 with outside air temperature at 25 and the A frame had no insulation. I have been thinking of window actuators but I am going to have to see...
