Another season is fast approaching. Photo from Sunday March 1st, temperature zero. The top of the greenhouse is currently rolled up for the winter to prevent collapse of the structure. The third week in March I will roll the top up and secure it firmly and proceed to thaw the ground out as quickly as possible using a combination of heaters and soil heating cables. There will still be patches of snow in shaded areas into mid May most years, it's a precarious life being a pumpkin plant in Alaska.
