Lanterra Update >
My 1778 Daletas has been in the ground since early May and it certainly likes the warmer weather.
I have found the warm days to be a constant battle. The sun can really bake the plants fast. I have shaded them for awhile each afternoon in the heat of the day. Supplemented my hoop house with a Red heat lamp and a 1500 watt thermostatic controlled heater and a fan running 24/7. I have a remote sensed thermometer on my window sill that I can check often. This allows me to add about 6*C to the ambient night time air temperature.
Next week starting with Tuesday's long range is for another wave of even hotter temps. This could challenge the plants more.
Hoping for much welcomed warmer nights though. Last nights low was 3*C. Now as I write this at 7:15am it is beginning to snow. Frig....arghhh....Makes a grower cry.
Only in Canada can you go from sunburn to frostbite in the same day.
