LanTerra Update > Hoop house temperatures are rising as again today the first heat wave of 2013 continues. A slight bit of rain this morning followed by clearing skies provided a great morning for what is becoming my regular early morning jog.

The 1778 is baked but holding up well in the hoop house. I have added some shading to the structure and now have a fan blowing cooling winds 24/7. The weather is surely a challenge to hold at bay the early morning chill and at the same time protect the plants from roasting in the steaming sunshine. I will welcome tomorrows cooling trend
and cloudy skies.

Heating the hoop house is now supplemented by a thermostate controlled heater and a 150 FR warming lamp. The only thing I need to put in place is a timer for the lamp.
