LanTerra Update > Chilly night time air...and a very brisk morning...... Outside it went all the way down to 2*C at 5am this morning, Inside the hoop house I managed to keep it above 11*. Tonight I might add a heat lamp. Very heavy dew this morning.

Then suddenly inside the hoop house temperature at mid morning was 31.8*C Opened it up at both ends and soaked everything down real good. Might be the hottest day of the spring with bright UV laden sun and clear skies. Temperature is already 23* at noon with a projected high of 27*. Nearly calm winds as well will make it much warmer today. The trees are popping out as I am staying ahead of the picking out the dandelions sprouting everywhere.

Only, very Minor flagging noticed on the 1778. May have to use the J.V. Relief product on the plants. Way too early on the calendar for an anti desiccant but the thermometer never lies. May also consider installing a fan.
