These did well through very cold weather (for N. Va.)--we had temps in the low teens and singles. We also had snow. The real payoff for this is in late Feb and Mar, when everything goes nuts with the longer days and warmer temps.
Tomato seedlings go out if the day temps are above 50. I take them in if night temps will be below 45. I heat up the greenhouse in the am with a couple of jugs of very hot water a few hours before the seedlings go in. Last edited by lrussillo; April 23, 2015 at 10:00 AM. Reason: didn't upload |

Good job. The fence makes a nice wind break.

Thanks! Backyard is very protected--so relatively warm when the sun is out...on the east side of the house--so cooler in the afternoon in the summer--a good thing around here.
