I set out the last two AG's last night as it has been just too wet to prepare the planting sites....In desperation I prepared them Thursday evening and left them 24 hrs to heat up. The ground was squishy under foot! Final line up:
1468 Stevens
1185 Kline
513 Vincent
804 Vincent McGill
1035 Aten*
935 Vincent*
The garden is still so wet, I can do any tillage. I'm not to stressed about the AG patch as I can work around the hoop houses for a couple weeks yet. I just cant get any planting sites prepared for the other giant veggies. Lots of transplants ready to set out! They are calling for showers all of next week too.
The plants that have been in the ground for a couple weeks are doing very well, with the 513 leading the pack, followed closely by the 1185 Kline and 1468 Stevens all with heating cables. The 1468 got damaged in a wind storm we had a week or so ago. The hoop house plastic was completely destroyed. Heat cables and black plastic working very well at maintaining ground temp at close to 80F. The mini ceramic heaters I bought are working very well at maintaining warm air conditions in the hoops at night.
