To be honest the "traditional" planting date for peas would be March 30th by our new calendar just because when this lore was started they were still using the old Julian calendar. (March 17th by Julian calendar is March 30th on our new calendar) So all that planted on March 17th (new calendar...

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

Old Man Winter might here you and decide to show his ugly face yet this year. (we really haven't had much of a winter this year) Chris

Greenhouse Mega Store does have heat cables there about 70.00 for 40 feet of cable for the one that has a built-in thermostat. 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...
