Re: Nasty Freeze

Mark,

I am sorry to here of your demise an do hope your back ups will perform,
but must chuckle at what we are all going through in various parts of the
country and world.

You are losing plants to frost while I am trying to save Mine  from burning
up!

I placed my plants in the ground May 12th & 14th and temps have already
shot into the 90's plus.

As you have done I erected hoop huts which I covered with agrofabric for
(frost & wind protection) as it turns out the material is working fine for
shade protection and reducing  heat around the young plants.

Those plants that have not been covered are goners!

Best of Luck!
Chris
