I can relate to those folks who have a swimming pool in their backyard: their summer's are COOL!
But Lorrie & I like the hoophouse 'cause we get SPRING SOONER than anyone else! (That's snow outside the hoophouse by Lorrie's right shoulder.)
Work has begun in the hoophouse. A couple of weeks ago we started planting lettuce seeds in the ground. Now that we have warmer days, we are expereinceing near 70d temperatures in the hoophouse. The ground is warming up - to 55d. So, spinach is starting to grow! We'll transplant swiss chard and lettuce seedlings at the end of the week.
We'll be harvesting some greens in a few weeks.
