Lettuce uncovered for the day. Six inch wire mesh makes for some quick and easy hoophouses. 2 x 4s or rocks hold down the visqueen and can be easily removed. Carrots are on the right under the visqueen, allows light to pass through warming the soil up and retains the heat to some extent at night. Germination rate is near 100% using the visqueen without it maybe 60 to 70%. Once carrots are up for a week or so the visqueen comes off for the season.
