So sturdy, @jackb !
After their first night in the hoop house for some of mine:
It seemed like Henrietta thermometer was claiming that it was 42°f in the hoop house, all night! I hadn't intended for them to be plunged into such cool overnight temperatures from the 60° greenhouse but they look fine. The furthest "tomatoes" aren't tomatoes - they are marigolds (& there are some zinnias among them). Anyway, nothing frost-hardy and the little heater chugged away all night.
It was a little colder than usual, this morning. Frost on the lawn as I drug the garbage can out to the curb at 6am. Frost on the west slope of the neighborhood roofs at 8am. I had a hoopy, with frost-questionable plants, covered with a couple of tarps.
A very sunny, nice day! More frost will have to wait awhile, I think. Here's hoping the weather doesn't deteriorate into next week - the tractor guy is committed for tilling then and I'm expecting him to git tuit!
